the second cricket Test, here

overs in their second innings
just after lunch to wrap up the
match well inside four days.
Ravichandran Ashwin (4/63)
picked up four wickets for India,
while Ravindra Jadeja (2/28),
Umesh Yadav (2/30) and
Ishant Sharma (2/43) shared
six wickets between them.

Gorgan, Nov 27
For the second time in a week,
Ajay Thakur proved to be the
decisive man for India over
Pakistan as the world
champions edged the
neighbours 36-22 to win the
Asian Kabaddi Championship
gold medal in Gorgan, Iran on
Sunday. Thakur produced a
match-winning showing as
India dominated the final
completely and Pakistan never
came close to bothering Rambir
Singh Khokkar-coached side.
Sandeep Narwal returned to
India’s line-up ahead of Mohit
Chhillar who had played in the
semifinal against South Korea
the same day. Narwal repaid
his coach’s faith with a solid
performance on the right corner
position and cancelled out any
plans Pakistan made of
at tacking from that side.
However, it was Thakur’s
raiding skills that got India over
the winning line and kept
Pakistan team at arm’s length.
His attacking spree gave India
a strong start and ruined any
plans the men in green may
have had of exacting revenge
of their 18-44 defeat in the
group stages. At half time, India
led 25-10 and showed no
signs of letting go of their lead.
With the game more-or-less in
the bag, India had to ensure
they remain steady in the
second half and keep Pakistan
away from scoring big raids –
and that is exactly what they did.
India brought in all their
experience into the second half
as Pardeep Narwal and
Maninder Singh chipped in with
useful raid points to help Thakur’s
cause as well. In the end, India
had ensured a comfortable 14
point margin to be crowned
champions of Asia. Earlier in the
group stages, Thakur had scored
12 raid points and Maninder
Singh chipped in with 11 points
to give India a resouding 44-18
victory over Pakistan.

for the first time ever an initiative of this scale has been taken up to train EWRs who
will go out and administer the villages professionally. It is regrettable that not many
women sarpanches and EWRs come forward to take up their responsibilities and
mostly allow their husbands to take the lead. So, they remain ‘sarpanchanis’ in name
only, the Minister added. She said that training two lakh women sarpanches across
the country will help bring important changes.
It will help to create model villages. It will help prepare women as political leaders
of the future. The training program which will include simple engineering skills will
give them an insight into women’s issues as well as focus on education and financial
matters, Smt Maneka Gandhi explained. The Minister disclosed that awards will be
given to the Master Trainers to those who have succeeded in empowering EWRs of
their areas. The Minister also appreciated the initiatives taken by some states to
