Anushka Becomes City's First Female International Basketball Player Under Piyush Singh Chauhan's Leadership

Anushka Chauhan, a Class XI student from SR Global School, has made history by becoming Lucknow's first female basketball player to represent India at the international level. Selected for the Indian Under-18 basketball team, she will participate in the prestigious Dubai International Basketball Championship. Her achievement marks a significant milestone for the city and serves as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring athletes.

“I am elated to be selected for this international-level tournament,”said Anushka.“I worked really hard to make a mark internationally. At the age of 12, I began playing basketball after my parents motivated me to give equal time to sports and academics.”

Her journey, though inspiring, wasn’t without challenges. Balancing academics and rigorous basketball training demanded discipline and perseverance. Anushka has already participated in multiple junior, senior, and youth tournaments, proving her mettle on every stage.

Behind Anushka’s success is the unwavering support and visionary leadership of Piyush Singh Chauhan, the Vice Chairman of SR Group of Institutions. Under his guidance, SR Global School has cultivated an environment where students are encouraged to pursue their dreams, both academically and athletically.

“Anushka’s achievement is a historic milestone, not just for our school but for the entire district. It is a proud moment for us all,” said Piyush Singh Chauhan. “Her journey highlights the importance of nurturing talent and providing students with the resources and guidance they need to excel. She is an inspiration for countless young athletes in Lucknow and beyond.”

Piyush Singh Chauhan, a seasoned educationist with over five years of experience leading the SR Group, has been instrumental in revolutionizing the educational landscape in Lucknow. His advocacy for integrating EdTech into traditional education systems has transformed SR Group’s institutions into hubs of innovation and quality learning.

SR Global School, under Chauhan’s leadership, played a pivotal role in Anushka’s development as an athlete. The institution ensured she had access to state-of-the-art facilities, expert coaching, and an environment that valued sports as much as academics. Such initiatives are part of Chauhan’s broader mission to redefine education by making it inclusive and supportive of diverse talents.

As Piyush Singh Chauhan aptly stated,“Anushka’s journey is proof that with the right guidance and determination, no dream is out of reach. She represents the spirit of hard work and resilience that we strive to instill in every student.”
