From Vyara in Gujarat’s Tapi district, Dhruvi Panchal’s journey reflects how determination and grassroots support can shape champions. Coming from modest means, she found direction after joining the Gujarat government’s District Level Sports School, where structured training, expert coaching and discipline refined her talent. With consistent effort, Dhruvi improved steadily and earned medals across various competitions. In 2025, she brought pride to Gujarat by winning gold in the 10-metre air rifle mixed team event at the Khelo India University Games. Today, Dhruvi stands as an inspiration for young girls from small towns, proving that effective sports schemes don’t just create facilities—they empower dreams and nurture future Olympians with global ambitions.
