As a part of the programme 12 boys and girls demonstrated eye-catching shows as well as 5 bouts between players.

She also narrated how hard she had to struggle as she did not have a regular source of income despite having brought home many medals from National and international events during heyday.
She has been running the academy and doing all possible to ensure that young judokas in her academy face a similar situation in days to come, she added.
The ongoing ethnic strife has left her homeless and compounded her hardships but she will continue to help the youngsters at her best level, continued Hemabati.
