Answer:

Arunima Sinha is a former Indian volleyball ball player, mountaineer and the first female amputee to scale Mount Everest and Mount Vinson.

She was pushed from a running train by some robbers in 2011 while she was resisting them. As a result, one of her legs had to be amputated below the knee.

Her aim was to climb all the continent's highest peaks and hoist the national flag of India. She has already done six peaks till 2014: Everest in Asia, Kilimanjaro in Africa, Elbrus in Europe, Kosciuszko in Australia, Aconcagua in Argentina and Carstensz Pyramid (Puncak Jaya) in Indonesia.[6] She completed her final summit of Mount Vinson in Antarctica on 4 January 2019.[4][7]

Early life and career

Sinha was born in Ambedkar Nagar near Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh. Her father was an engineer in Indian Army and her mother was a supervisor in health department. She had an elder sister and a younger brother. Her father passed away when she was 3 and her sister's husband started to taking care of her family.

Arunima liked cycling, football and also was a national volleyball player. She wanted to join paramilitary forces. She got a call letter from CISF and faced her life changing accident while travelling to Delhi in its response.

Train accident

Sinha, a former national volleyball and football player,[10] boarded the Padmavati Express train at Lucknow for Delhi on 12 April 2011, to take an examination to join the CISF. She was pushed out of a general coach of the train by robbers wanting to snatch her bag and gold chain. Recounting the incident,  Immediately, as she fell on the railway track, another train on a parallel track crushed her leg below the knee. She was rushed to the hospital[10] with serious leg and pelvic injuries, and lost her leg after doctors amputated it to save her life.

She was offered compensation of ₹25,000 (US$360) by the Indian Sports Ministry. Following national outrage, the Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Ajay Maken announced an additional Rs. ₹200,000 (US$2,900) compensation as medical relief, together with a recommendation for a job in the CISF. Indian Railways also offered her a job.

On 18 April 2011, she was brought to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences[ for further treatment, spending four months at the Institute.[15] She was provided a prosthetic leg free of cost by a private Delhi-based Indian company.

An inquiry by the police into the incident threw her version of the accident into doubt. According to the police, she was either attempting suicide or met with an accident while crossing the railway tracks. Arunima claimed that the police were lying. Contrary to the police claims the Lucknow bench of Allahabad high court ordered Indian Railways to pay a compensation of ₹500,000 (US$7,200) to Arunima Sinha.

She climbed Mt Everest with a prosthetic leg, which was arranged by raising funds with the help of a swami of Ramakrishna Mission, Vadodara.
