With Hockey stick in her hands and sweat on her forehead, Holika, who practices in dusty grounds, studies in class 6.

Holika’s father earns Rs 350 per day working as labourer. Like her, almost all the girls on the hockey field are from poor families. Some of their parents work as labourers and some work in the field.
