Pana Devi:
An old woman from Bikaner district did such a miracle. Everyone will be shocked to know about this. Pana Devi Godara, a 92-year-old rural woman living in Akhisar village of Nokha tehsil in Bikaner, won three gold medals.
Pana Devi recently participated in the 44th National Master Athletics Championship 2024 in Pune and won three gold medals (100m, shot put, discus throw). Pana Devi will now travel to Sweden in August to play the World Championship.
Explaining her success mantra and her health, Pana Devi said that she never takes fast food, canned food or cold water. This is the secret of her health. Waking up early in the morning and helping with household chores is part of their daily schedule. Moreover, she said that she does not take any medication and has not taken any medication for years. Jai Kishan Godara, the 92-year-old grandson of Pana Devi Godara, inspired his grandmother to play, saying that there is no age for education.
Jai Kishan himself is a national sportsman. For a long time, he has been making children practice various sports. One day he took grandma with him to the stadium on the pretense of observing her work. Jai Kishan says that after that day grandma always started coming with me to Karni Singh Stadium. Then one day grandma said that she also wants to play. Grandson encouraged grandmother to reach this level.
Pana Devi, who returned from participating in the National Games activity, now encourages the women of the village to participate in the Games activity. Her grandson Jai Kishan Godara said that after Grandma’s success, the women of the village started coming to meet her. Godara said that the villagers knew that Pana Devi, a mother of five sons and three daughters, was healthy, but no one thought that Audi would bring glory to the village at the national level.
