1. Nauri Mundu
A 33-years old former hockey player from Jharkhand has represented the national team 19 times.
Mundu started her career in 1995 by winning Nehru Hockey Tournament.
In 1995, she was awarded the best hockey player ward by former chief minister of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav and in 1996 she won bronze in Nehru Girls Hockey Tournament and National Women's Games.
In 1997 she won silver in the 43rd National Senior Games Championship and 15th Bihar State Hockey Women's Championship.
With many more awards in in between, she also she won the Jharkhand Women's Hockey Association Award in 2008.
But due to lack of adequate funds she had to give up her dream of being a hockey player.
Currently Mundu teaches in the Mahil School, a private school run by a non-governmental organisation called SINI, along with farming because the money she earns from teaching is just not enough to support her family of 14.
