Divyakriti Singh becomes first Indian woman to win

Tuesday marked a historic occasion as Divyakriti Singh, the accomplished equestrian athlete, became the first Indian woman to be conferred with the prestigious Arjuna Award in Equestrian. The esteemed award was presented by the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, in a grand ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
This recognition adds a crowning glory to Divyakriti Singh’s illustrious career, particularly after her triumph as part of the Gold Medal-winning Indian Dressage team at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, last September.
Divyakriti Singh’s achievement holds special significance for her home state of Rajasthan, breaking a five-year hiatus for the region in receiving the Arjuna Award. She is the sole representative from Rajasthan to be honoured this year, and notably, the first woman from the state to win a medal in Equestrian at the Asian Games.
Expressing her joy, Divyakriti remarked, “This is a moment of immense pride for the Equestrian sport and our noble companions, the horses, to receive recognition and reward from our Hon’ble President. It is a humbling experience, and I extend my gratitude to my family and my horses, whose support has been instrumental in helping me achieve this remarkable feat.”
A proud alumna of The Palace School, Jaipur, and Mayo College Girls School in Ajmer, Divyakriti has dedicated the last three years to training in Germany at the renowned Hof Kasselmann dressage yard in Hagen.
