India captain who got a road built in her village!!!

The FIFA U-17 Women's world cup has begun. india is hosting this big tournament this time. The indian team is playing under the leadership of Ashtam Oraon, daughter of the Gumla district of Jharkhand. But the unfortunate thing is that the country which is the host of FIFA does not even have a road in front of the captain's house of that country's team. But now the government is going to build a road in the name of the captain. The parents of the captain of the football team were engaged in the construction of the same road. 


There was no road to reach Ashtam's house, due to which the government is now getting the road built. Along with the construction of the road, arrangements are also being made by the administration to enable the captain's house to watch the matches. The BDO and the sports Officer have also delivered the tv and inverter to Ashtam's house.

Parents are doing a daily wage of Rs 250

The parents of Ashtam, who came out of extreme poverty and struggle to become the captain of the indian team, are still in this condition on the day their daughter is going to play the match. Even on that day, both of them are seen doing daily wages of Rs 250 in road construction work.

Parents raised their daughters by feeding them water and rice.

Eighth's father Heera Oraon has also expressed pain on this situation. He has said that if you do not work as a labourer, how will the family's stomach be fed, while mother tara Devi is happy that her daughter has become the captain of India. She has said that Ashtam has been fighting since the beginning. Whatever she decides to do, she does it with all her heart. 

Hear what the officials have to say on this

On this matter, district sports Officer Kumari Hemlata Guna and Block Development Officer Chanda Bhattacharya said that in the honor of Ashtam, the work of road construction is being done by the district administration till her house.

When the officials were asked whether Ashtam's parents were working as labourers in the construction of the same road that was being built in their daughter's name, the officials replied that no work is small. Also said that a tv and inverter have been installed at the house of Eighth at the level of district administration so that her family members can also watch the live telecast of the match.
