Haridwar, 5 Apr: Martial arts Wushu national coach Aarti Saini has been dedicatedly engaged for many years in teaching self-defense and sports skills to girls living in rural areas, and is giving free training to economically backward girls.
Aarti has instilled confidence in the girls belonging to the rural environment. Saini is also famous among these girls by the name, ‘Udan Pari’.
Aarti is gathering economically weaker girls living in Kasturba Gandhi Vidyalayas and other hostels to create awareness among them about self-defence and developing confidence.
The Government of India has given the slogan of Khelo India to implement, on which Aarti Saini is working in mission mode.
Aarti reveals that she has been interested in sports since childhood. A resident of Alipur Aterna, Muzaffarnagar, she wanted to become an air hostess and also trained for it. But her family members belonging to a rural environment did not allow her to work as an air hostess.
At this Aarti took a pledge that she would instil confidence through sports and self-defence skills among the girls belonging to the rural environment. She has been successful in this objective and also got the support of her family members.
Aarti has received special training in the martial art, Wushu, and has won many titles at the national level. Later, she received special training as a Martial Arts Wushu coach. Now, she has made her mark as a coach and selector at national and international level competitions and holds many positions in the Martial Arts Wushu Association.
Saini has proved her mettle by organising two competitions at the national level and several competitions at the state level in Wushu. She has taught self-defence skills to women personnel of the PAC, Civil Police and other government institutions, and has led many teams of Wushu martial arts.
After marriage, Aarti Saini came to Missarpur village of Haridwar district. With her soft behaviour and sports skills, she is earning fame as a player, sports coach and self-defence instructor. She has also been honoured by many organisations for this contribution.
