Nikki Pradhan, a tribal girl from a remote village Hesal in district Khunti of Jharkhand has become the first women from Jharkhand in Women's hockey team to be included in the Olympics. She would be playing in Rio. Very few people of the state even have heard of this remote village. But now Nikki has made this village famous. Nikki has three sisters and all of them are hockey players. Her elder sister plays for Railways and the younger two are taking training. Their mother Jitan Devi feels so proud of them and says that mostly a girl child is looked as a burden but her four daughters have proved otherwise.
