Uttarakhand villages to honour girl’s boxing gold

Last month, Nikita Chand, 15, won the gold at the Asian Junior Boxing Championship in Dubai. ​​When she came home to a rousing welcome, the gram panchayat thought they had to do more to honour her and create a legacy. So now, at the remote village of Badalu, every household will put up nameplates with their youngest daughter’s name on it.
