Despite all odds Inayat has become the first female player from the Valley to participate in senior national hockey championship after twenty years.

After two decades a Kashmiri girl, Inayat Farooq, created history when she participated in the senior national level hockey championship, organised by Hockey India and Jammu and Kashmir Hockey Association.

Inayat, who hails from Kralpora Tehsil Chadoora, Budgam, is a final year student of the Government Women’s College in Srinagar. Coming from a middle-class family, Inayat has now become an idol for budding hockey players in the state.

Manzoor, who recently returned from National Hockey Championship, said, “I didn’t even know about hockey before joining Government College for Women. I hadn’t even stepped out of house before going for National trials.

Following her participation, more girls are showing interest in sports and especially in hockey. Inayat has won a number of awards and medals for her sport and now her aim is to represent India and play at international level.
