Congratulating coveted position holders at the Championship, Mrs Som Parkash inspired more and more girls to adopt this sport for their self defence also. Taking the example of the best woman boxer of the country Mary Kom, VC LPU Dr Kanwar motivated the women boxers to devote themselves to the core to bring more glory to the nation through their national and international wins. Illustrative, the Championship was organised by District Boxing Association Kapurthala under the auspices of Punjab Boxing Association (PBA).
Many other boxers from Sangrur, Bathinda, Amritsar, Hoshiarpur, Muktsar, Ropar, Fazilka and other areas of the state exhibited their fist-powers to win II and III positions. On contacting the best boxer Ms Manpreet, she assured that she will not only bring laurels to the state during national competition but also reach international arena to gather many medals for the country. Best loser Ms Baljit said: “I was sure to go ahead. Somehow I could not succeed this time, however I will continue practicing to show my worth next year. One thing more which I want to share is that LPU is a great university to promote such activities. I have never and nowhere else seen such arrangements and co-operation prior to this.”
