Unfortunately, for the girl from Keonjhar district who pulls off jaw-dropping feats of strength and also excels in martial arts on the national and international stage, it is not enough in a facet of life where she wants it to count.     <\/p>\n<p> Anupama has run into one wall after another in trying to establish her Asian Powerlifting Championship gold medal for a Group A job in the Odisha government. <\/p>\n<p>After winning at the Asian Powerlifting Championship in 2017, Anupama approached the state government for a higher post commensurate with her sporting achievements. She is a constable with Odisha Police. <\/p>\n<p>On November 11, 2022, a high-level government committee considered achievements at the Asian Powerlifting Championship equivalent to those at the Asian Games and recommended two women sportspersons\u2019 names, including Anupama\u2019s, for appointment in Group A posts.<\/p>\n<p>Anupama was ignored, while another sportswoman was allegedly given a job after a recommendation under the same criteria. On January 10, 2024, the second high-level committee meeting recommended eight sportspersons, including Anupama, could be considered separately for promotion.   <\/p>\n<p>Despite repeated recommendations from the police department, sports department and Legislative Assembly Standing Committee for Anupama\u2019s appointment to a higher post, her demand remains unfulfilled. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newindianexpress.com\/good-news\/2026\/Nov\/15\/anupama-a-talent-whose-feats-are-not-enough-to-improve-her-job-standing\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BHUBANESWAR : It is possible to overlook the diminutive Anupama Swain, but impossible to ignore the proven powerhouse of sporting talent she is.
