SAG Perfect 10 for India in Boxing
It all went as scripted for Indian women pugilists who crushed any chance of a final-day surprise beating their Sri Lankan opponents convincingly to bag all the three gold medals on offer on the closing day at the 12th South Asian Games in Shillong. MC Mary Kom, L Sarita Devi and Pooja Rani clinched the yellow metal in their respective categories to make it a perfect 10 for India in boxing at the NEHU, SAI Special Area Games in Shillong.
Earlier the Indian men had grabbed all seven gold medals on
offer to set the platform for a clean sweep in the discipline. It was none other
than the famed MC Mary Kom who set the tempo for the Indians on Tuesday morning,
handing over her animated Sri Lankan rival Anusha Dilrukshi a first round
technical knockout. India thus clinched all the gold medals on offer in boxing
to add fillip to its gold rush in the 12th South Asian Games.
Interest Rates of Small Saving Schemes to be recalibrated
The National Savings Schemes (NSSs) regulated by the Ministry of Finance offer complete security of investment combined with high attractive returns. These schemes also act as instruments of financial inclusion especially in the geographically inaccessible areas due to their implementation primarily through the Post Offices, which have reach far and wide.
