Womens Day 2018: 6 lesser known Indian sportswoman and their inspiring stories.

Mehuli Ghosh(Shooting)

The shooter from Bengal has won bronze in individual 10m Air rifle and team event in the ongoing ISSF shooting world cup in Mexico. Daughter of a non-permanent government worker who literally struggled to make ends meet, she was soon ostracised by her peers and had to seek counselling for a while to keep alive her dream of pursuing a career in shooting. Mehuli used to travel around 80km each day — from Baidyabati (her home) to Newtown in Rajarhat with her heavy kit bag. There were days when she used to reach home at midnight after the training.
