BHOPAL: It is another rags-to-riches tale. In 2016, she was ferrying boats to help her father and four elder sisters for fishing in the backwaters of Indira Sagar Dam on Narmada in Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh. Her only motive was to repay her family’s debt.

She is tipped to emerge as India’s top woman canoer and make her international canoeing debut two months later.
