Bhilai's Girl has Admission in the University on the basis of Facebook video
The 21-year-old kavita Akula, who lives in Bhilai, had to face difficulties after her father's death in 2015 and she returned from the United States but returned to her coach's advice.
Kavita made points from the average of 9 playing in every game of Basketball, playing on behalf of the junior college, which made a record here.
Meanwhile, her college coach Nick Selzer made a video of her game and posted it on Facebook. After seeing the Grand Kenyan University decided to give admission to her with full scholarships.
Seven years ago, the IMG Academy in Florida selected eight Indian teenagers on scholarship to be trained in basketball and educated in the United States. The youngsters developed in different ways and some found more success than others. The biggest name in the group turned out to be Satnam Singh, a seven-footer from Punjab, who in 2015 bypassed college to become the first Indian player to be drafted to the NBA.
Talented girl Kavita Akula - from Bhilai, Chhattisgarh - has made history by becoming the first Indian-born female basketball player to receive a full scholarship from a Division 1 college in the United States, the Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. After making a name for herself in two years of junior college at the Garden City Community College (GCCC) in Kansas, this is a major step forward for the 21-year-old.
