Great to see Indian boxing growing at the grassroots level. Five wins on the opening day is a statement. The girls' technical skills and aggression were on full display. Also credit to the coaching staff for preparing them well for this tournament.

Our young boxers are truly making us proud! 🏆 But I hope equal attention is given to the boys as well. Daksh Pawar's loss should be a learning experience. Every defeat teaches something. Let's support all our athletes! They're all champions in their own right.

Absolutely thrilled! The way Rakhi and Navya won by RSC - that's the kind of aggression we love to see. And Ovi, Mamta, Lakshmi with clean 5-0 verdicts - no doubt about their superiority. This is what happens when we invest in grassroots sports. Well done, girls! 🥊✨
