DAV Public School, Bira Siul Power Station (BSPS), Surangani, won the girls’ under-17 kabaddi title at the National-Level DAV Sports Meet held in Noida from October 24 to 26, 2026. The school also secured runner-up finishes in the girls’ under-14 and under-19 categories, making kabaddi the centrepiece of a strong multi-discipline showing by its student contingent.
A total of 20 students represented the Surangani school at the competition, with eight boys and 12 girls in the contingent. The results extended beyond kabaddi: four students earned wrestling medals in their respective age and weight categories, while three girls were selected for the School Games Federation of India (SGFI), according to The Tribune’s report published on October 30.
U-17 girls lead the kabaddi success
The girls’ U-17 team emerged as national champions at the DAV meet. The U-14 and U-19 girls’ teams also reached the top end of their respective competitions, finishing as runners-up. The results meant that Surangani had a medal-winning presence across all three girls’ kabaddi age groups identified in the report.
The achievement is significant for a school contingent competing at a national-level inter-school event. Winning the U-17 title required the team to finish ahead of its opponents in its age category, while the runner-up finishes in the U-14 and U-19 sections showed that the school’s kabaddi participation extended across different stages of student development.
The Tribune report did not provide the final score, the names of the opposing schools, individual match results or the names of the kabaddi players. Those details are therefore not included here. The confirmed outcome is the U-17 championship and the two runner-up finishes.
Four wrestling medals add to the school’s tally
Surangani also recorded four podium finishes in wrestling. Priyanshi won a bronze medal in the U-14 54-kg category, while Lipaxi secured bronze in the U-17 53-kg category. The two bronze medals came in different age groups, giving the school representation among both younger and older competitors.
Sonakshi claimed silver in the U-14 33-kg category, and Dikshita won silver in the U-17 53-kg category. Together, the four results gave the school two silver and two bronze medals in wrestling, complementing the kabaddi title and runner-up finishes.
The spread of results across age and weight categories reflects the range of events in which the Surangani students competed. The report identifies each medal winner and category, but does not state the opponents, bout scores or the stage at which each wrestling medal was decided.
Three students selected for the SGFI
Another outcome from the meet was the selection of three students for the School Games Federation of India. Simran, a student of Class XI, was selected alongside Harshita and Arushi, both from Class X. Their selection adds an individual progression milestone to the school’s team and medal results.
SGFI selection provides the students with an opportunity to be part of the school-games pathway beyond the DAV meet. The Tribune report names the three students but does not specify their sports or the dates and venues of any subsequent SGFI competition. Those details should be confirmed through the school or the relevant organisers before further fixtures are reported.
School acknowledges teachers, coaches and supporters
Officiating Principal Naseem Mohammed congratulated the students and praised their hard work and dedication. He also acknowledged the guidance provided by teachers and coaches, recognising the contribution of the people who supported the athletes during their preparation and participation.
The school management and staff congratulated the medal winners and the students selected for the SGFI. The officiating principal also expressed gratitude to DAV authorities, NHPC management, parents and other stakeholders for their continued support and encouragement.
The acknowledgement highlights the collective structure behind school sport. Students compete, but their preparation and participation depend on teachers, coaches, families and institutional support. In this case, the school’s 20-member contingent returned with a national U-17 kabaddi title, two additional girls’ kabaddi runner-up finishes, four wrestling medals and three SGFI selections.
A notable result for school sport in Himachal Pradesh
For Surangani and the wider Chamba region, the results place a school team from Himachal Pradesh among the leading performers at the National-Level DAV Sports Meet. The girls’ U-17 kabaddi championship is the headline achievement, while the performances in the other age categories show that the school had a broader presence in the competition.
The results also offer an encouraging example for students who take part in school-level sport: team competition, individual events and selection pathways can all form part of a school’s sporting programme. SportsLine will continue to follow grassroots and school-sport achievements that bring attention to young athletes and their institutions.
