The best part of the Tournament was the massive development not only of the sport but also of the community’s changing mindset. The mothers and fathers were delighted to watch their daughters perform in front of a crowd of 200 spectators from the nearby villages. They broke all norms and in the history of the region and not only came together to witness a live match but interestingly these parents belonging to five different villages got together at one village just to watch their daughter play. The elders of the villages appreciated these young performers wholeheartedly.
