Raipur, 22 June 2025 \u2013<\/strong> A wave of joy lit up the face of Chhattisgarh\u2019s daughter, Shalu Dahariya, a 12-time national-level softball player, when Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai personally video-called her to offer his heartfelt wishes and the much-needed financial support to fulfill her dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shalu has been selected to represent India at the Asia Youth Softball Championship, scheduled to take place in Xi\u2019an, China, from 14 to 20 July 2025. Out of all the players from Chhattisgarh, only two women were selected for this open tournament \u2014 and Shalu is one of them. However, the \u20b91.70 lakh required to participate in the international event posed a significant financial challenge for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming from a humble background, Shalu\u2019s father works as a private security guard and her mother runs a small beauty parlor. Despite financial constraints, Shalu began playing softball in the 8th grade and has since represented the state nationally 12 times, even winning a gold medal.During the video call, Chief Minister Sai told Shalu, \u201cDaughter, move ahead\u2026 we all stand with you. Chhattisgarh is proud of you. Play well, my best wishes are with you. Make the country and the state proud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further added that the state government is not just committed to encouraging daughters but also ready to support and uplift them when needed \u2014 turning their dreams into reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A True Example of Compassionate Governance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the Chief Minister\u2019s instructions, Janjgir-Champa Collector Shri Janmejay Mahobe promptly handed over a cheque of \u20b91.70 lakh to Shalu and wished her success in the upcoming tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressing her gratitude, Shalu\u2019s mother, Mrs. Alka Dahariya, said, \u201cThanks to the Chief Minister\u2019s compassionate initiative and financial support, my daughter now has the opportunity to participate in an international competition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gesture from CM Sai reflects that the government doesn\u2019t just stop at announcing schemes \u2014 it extends a helping hand in moments of real need. The state government is truly committed to empowering daughters and turning their aspirations into achievements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
