Udupi – Mansi J Suvarna from Udupi district has secured a bronze medal at the National Boxing Championship held in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
Lakshmi Hebbalkar, Minister for Women and Child Development and Udupi District In-charge Minister, lauded the young boxer’s accomplishment. She described Mansi’s success as an inspiration for other boxers across Karnataka, especially since boxing is a relatively uncommon sport in the coastal belt.
Mansi, the daughter of Malati and Jagadish Suvarna from Malpe — a family engaged in fishing — has brought pride to her community through her achievement. Minister Hebbalkar expressed hope that boxing will gain greater popularity in the region and that more coastal children will excel in the sport.
Wishing Mansi success in future national and international events, the minister affirmed that the government will continue to extend full support to her sporting journey, helping her bring further glory to the state and the nation.
