Bihar | Siwan: Daughters raised in remote rural areas can make their mark at the national level through talent, hard work and determination. Vaidehi Yadav, a resident of Laukipur village in Raghunathpur block of Siwan district, has proved this by carving out a place for herself in women’s cricket.
Coming from an ordinary family, Vaidehi has brought pride to her family, Raghunathpur block and the entire Siwan district through her achievements on the cricket field.

A 15-member Bihar squad has been selected for the tournament.
A Journey Built on Hard Work and Dedication
