Answers
Explanation:
Mary Kom, an Indian boxer, was selected in the 48 kg category for the International Boxing Association , World Women’s Boxing Championships in Pennsylvania, USA, in November – December 2001. Mary Kom’s father managed to get Rs.2000/- from his source. Her friends met two MPs and got a sum of eight thousand rupees for her trip. A little more money had been collected from other source. Her well wishers had confidence in her and donated liberally. She did not want to upset them. So she thought that she should not return empty handed. She came back with a silver medal. But she was not happy over this. She determined to get gold for India. The silver in Pennsylvania and prize money from the government had put an end to her immediate financial worries. But she wanted a job since it would provide a steady and security income. When she was getting married she had no savings except a couple of life insurance policies. In 2005, Manipur government offered her a sub inspector job. Subsequently she got rid of her financial problems.
