Nadia’s Debrupa Nag wins two Bangkok yogasana golds
Debrupa Nag is a 10-year-old yoga athlete from Nadia.
She competed in a championship in Bangkok, Thailand.
She won two gold medals in different types of yogasana.
Before the trip, her family worried that they could not afford the travel costs.
The Emami Foundation helped Debrupa and her father travel to the event.
Her wins qualified her for a world championship in Visakhapatnam in December.
She now needs more money to take part in that competition.
Debrupa also does well in school and enjoys dancing, recitation and drawing.
Ten-year-old Debrupa Nag won gold in Traditional Yoga and Artistic Yoga at the Asia Pacific Yogasana Sports Championship in Bangkok.
The September 5-7 event secured her place in the World Yogasana Championship in Visakhapatnam in December.
The Emami Foundation provided about ₹2 lakh in travel and other support for Debrupa and her father.
Debrupa had nearly missed the Bangkok competition because her self-sponsored trip required substantial funding.
She now needs about ₹60,000 to compete in the December championship and has also excelled academically and in the arts.
