NEW DELHI: Diksha Chillar dons several hats. She is a national-level medallist in archery, a state-level footballer and a black-belt in karate. She has mastered multiple sports and that’s inspiring especially at a time when there were many barriers for female athletes. However, Diksha feels that the environment has changed for the better and it is now more suitable for the growth of women in sports.
“I have seen women emerge and conquer the Indian sporting fraternity over the years. From Sania Mirza and Mary Kom to P V Sindhu and Nikhat Zareen, the examples are there for all to see. It was easy in the beginning but personalities such as them have brought a positive wave of change in Indian sports. I am confident that women will take Indian sports by storm in the coming years,” she said.
