Well deserved recognition! But I hope this isn't just a one-off ceremony. The article says they are "exploring" women's initiatives. They need to act fast and launch a proper women's league under UPKL. The talent is there, they just need the platform.

Kabaddi is our indigenous sport and seeing it grow like this, especially for women, is heartwarming. More power to Anu Sen! UP should lead the way in grassroots development. Hope other states follow.

As someone new to following kabaddi, it's great to see leagues like UPKL not only promoting the sport but also ensuring women athletes get their due recognition. This is how you build a sustainable sports culture.

Bahut badhiya! Our women's kabaddi team doesn't get half the media coverage they deserve compared to cricket. Leagues like UPKL are crucial to change that. Anu Sen's felicitation is a step in the right direction. 👏
