First India woman footballer to get the Padma Shri ready to chip in
Oinam Bembem Devi, the first Indian woman footballer to be honoured with the Padma Shri, is keen to use the recognition to help young Indian women footballers in the country.
“My work isn’t done after receiving the Padma Shri. I will continue to work and help realise the dream of youngsters to get the Padma Shri. I will motivate and share my experiences with them,” said Bembem.
“Even before receiving it [Padma Shri], I have been taking responsibility for the sport. I will take more responsibility and continue to make sacrifices for women’s football,” she added.
