Visva-Bharati forms sports teams for girls

Visva-Bharati has decided to shape separate women’s teams in extraordinary sports for the first time, caused by the denial of permission for a 20-year-old woman to play cricket with boys in opposition. Megha Das Kabiraj, a 2nd 12-month undergraduate scholar of zoology at Siksha Bhavana in Visva-Bharati, has been a district-stage cricketer for the past few years. So the varsity organized an inter-Bhavana cricket match on March 11, in which Megha’s call became enlisted as a player.

But her name was struck off the listing at the last second. Megha stated she became bowled over after hearing the good judgment to drop her from the group. “I used to practice with boys, and they had no problem. However, I was harmed once I heard that I couldn’t play cricket simply due to the fact I am a girl.” She then wrote to vice-chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty about the decision taken by the university’s sports activities board. “When the meeting of the sports board was held in February, no person was antagonistic to my inclusion within the crew. But two days before the fit, the deputy director of the sports board, Sudarshan Biswas, denied me permission to participate in the team for two reasons.

One was the hazard of injury, for which I took all obligation. The second reason changed into the opportunity for everybody to misbehave with me,” Megha stated. However, a director, Visva-Bharati, who seems after the sports activities board, Narayan Mondal, said: “The girl had come to me. But we couldn’t permit her to play cricket with guys in line with college norms. After she approached the VC, she decidwas madesports acwomen’sies teams in cricket, kho-kho, volleyball, and football.”  Tags
