Sakshi Malik will be Beti Bachao Beti Padhao brand ambassador in Haryana

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today announced that Rio Olympic Bronze medal winner in freestyle wrestling Sakshi Malik will be Beti Bachao Beti Padhao brand ambassador in Haryana. This was the most unique way of welcoming Haryana's daughter who won the first medal in the Olympics and brought a smile to the millions of Indians. Rio 2016 Olympics bronze medalist wrestler Sakshi Malik was accorded a grand welcome by people and Haryana government on Wednesday. Sakshi, who arrived in Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport early on Wednesday from Rio de Janeiro, was given a rousing reception at the airport itself. The Haryana government in a state-level function held to honour Sakshi, rewarded her with a Rs 2.5 crore check and announced a government job for her. The Delhi government had also announced a reward of Rs 1 crore for her. "I got a very good welcome. Felt very nice. Lot of people from my village and state came to receive me," Sakshi, who stopped at New Delhi's Haryana Bhawan for some time, told the media.
