None qualifies for Kalpana Chawla award
Mandi Ahmedgarh, February 1
The Chahal Welfare and Sports Club at Uchi Daud village has been disappointed that no student of the surrounding villages has come up to their aspirations, who can be honoured with the Kalpana Chawla award that was instituted by the organisation two years earlier. The organisation had to postpone the celebration of annual sport meet also as no family member of the deceased astronaut could spare time on schedule. However, a brief function was organised by the club at this village to pay tribute to her.
