Their coach Tumpa Mahato is playing an important role behind this success. He has been faithfully fulfilling the responsibility of teaching various hand-to-hand football techniques to developing discipline and excellence in team play. The school authorities and parents are hopeful that with her proper guidance and inspiration, these schoolgirls will be able to showcase their talent on a bigger stage in the future.

Priyansha Goswami, a seventh-grader of the school, said, “Along with boys, girls can also play hard on the field. Just as our Bengali pride World Cup winner Richa Ghosh has made India shine, one day we want to make our country and school shine by playing football.” On the other hand, their coach Tumpa Mahato said, “There are still many people in the society who don’t look good on girls playing football. But being a girl, no one should be locked up at home or kept away from the outside world. Girls also want to showcase their talent through sports and raise the country’s honor.”

In addition to education, their dreams and mentality will play an important role in the future of society, the concerned circles think. These schoolchildren of Kashipur are undoubtedly showing a bold new direction towards the future.
