Alumni: G Kavitha's Story

G Kavitha, a Std XII student, was declared district champion with three golds – in 200 Metre sprint, Long jump and Triple jump. Previously she had been interested in sports, but she never realized her potential untill the Sevalaya sports department and Physical Instructor spotted her talents. Subsequently, Sevalaya staff motivated Kavitha by encouraging her to follow a strict exercise regime, and showing her videos of famous Indian and International sports stars and their achievements. Kavitha’s commitment to her training resulted in a succession of medals in 2016 - she won a medal for every event in which she competed. She was later declared the champion in her age category at the Sports Development Authority of Tamilnadu (SDAT) tournament in Thiruvallur. Now, Kavitha has set her eyes on a sub 24 second 200 metre race.

Apart from the training regimen of a minimum of two hours per day, Sevalaya provides her with nutritious food, and sports gear with spikes and jerseys. Coming from an underprivileged background has not limited Kavitha’s success, thanks to the complete backing of her parents and support from the training staff at Sevalaya.

G Kavitha's story is one of the many success stories from Sevalaya alumni who continue to highly achieve in their lives and various pursuits after leaving, all while keeping a close bond with Sevalaya and its community.
