Labourer's daughter makes it to shooting Junior World Cup, but doesn't have funds to go

劳工之女成功晋级少年世界杯，却筹不出路费去参加比赛

MEERUT: Priya Singh,19, has defied odds to shoot her way to glory. Daughter of a dalit labourer in Meerut's Mawana subdivision, she is one of the six candidates shortlisted to represent India in the 50m rifle prone at the ISSF Junior World Cup to be held in Suhl, Germany, from June 22.

密拉特：19岁的普里亚·辛格克服困难，通过射击走向荣耀。她是密拉特马瓦纳区一名达利特劳工的女儿，入围代表印度参加50米步枪俯射项目的6名参赛选手，这些候选人将代表印度参加6月22日在德国苏尔举行的国际射击联合会青年世界杯50米步枪项目。

However, Priya, who made it to the coveted event with a borrowed rifle, doesn't have the financial wherewithal to support her career and may have to miss the championship. Reason: the government provides financial assistance to the top three only while she is ranked fourth in the list of six who have qualified.

然而，虽然普里亚用借来的来福枪进入了梦寐以求的赛事，却没有足够的经费支撑她的职业生涯，可能还因此错过冠军头衔。而此事的原因在于，政府只向前三名选手提供财政支持，而她在六名参赛选手中位列第四。

National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) secretary Rajiv Bhatia told TOI, "We fully support Priya and we are hel her out with the gun permit so that she is able to participate in the Suhl event. As far as financial assistance is concerned, our hands are tied. The government takes care of all expenses, including ammunition, for the top three participants. The remaining ones have to take care of their travel and stay."

印度步枪协会秘书长拉吉夫·巴提亚向《印度时报》表示，“我们全力支持普里亚，我们正在帮助她申请枪支许可证，这样她就可以参加苏尔的赛事。但在财政方面，我们无能为力。政府为前三名选手负责包含包子弹在内的所有费用，剩下的人必须自己承担旅途和逗留的费用。”

The father-daughter duo has approached everyone — from chief minister Yogi Adityanath to Prime Minister Narendra Modi — but to no avail. "I work under a contractor and earn Rs 10,000 a month. I use this amount to feed my family, including my four children," her father, Brijpal Singh, 50, told TOI. He said he also spoke with moneylenders but they were not willing to give him a loan.

从首席部长约吉•阿迪提亚纳特到总理纳伦德拉•莫迪，父女二人已经接触过所有人，但都无济于事。“我在承包商手下工作，每月挣一万卢比。我用这个钱养活我的家人，包括我的四个孩子，”她的父亲，50岁的布里杰帕·辛格告诉《印度时报》。他说，他也与钱庄了解过，但他们不愿意借钱给他。

Priya didn't even have a rifle of her own. Provided equipment by the National Cadet Corps (NCC), of which she was a cadet until 2017, she won 17 medals between 2014 and 2017, including gold in the All India National Shooting Championship in 2016 and 2017.

普里亚甚至没有自己的枪。2017年前，她都还是国民志愿服务团成员，凭借国民志愿服务团为她提供的枪支，她在2014年至2017年间获得了17枚奖牌，其中包括2016年和2017年全印射击锦标赛的金牌。

However, 2017 was the last time she participated in a competition as bidding farewell to NCC meant unavailability of a gun.

然而，2017年是她最后一次参加比赛，因为告别了国民志愿服务团，就意味着没有枪了。

A recipient of Raksha Mantri Award and the prestigious Governor's Medal, she was selected to be part of the Indian squad for the Junior World Cup in January this year.

她曾获得Raksha Mantri奖和著名的邦长奖章，今年1月她被入选印度青年队备战世界杯。

"I received a copy of the letter of invitation written by the German Shooting Federation to National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) on May 22. Since then, my father and I have been running around, approaching people for financial assistance. I personally visited the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and left an application. For three days, we also tried to meet Union minister of state for youth affairs and sports Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore," Priya told TOI.

“我收到了德国射击联合会5月22日写给印度全国步枪协会的邀请函。从那时起，我和父亲就四处奔走，向人们寻求经济援助。我自己也拜访了总理办公室并留下了一份申请。三天来，我们还试图与负责青年事务和体育事务的联邦青少年事务和体育部长拉约瓦尔德汗·辛格·拉索会面。”

Priya needs Rs 4.5 lakh to fund her travel and accommodation to Germany. Her father has already sold his buffalo for Rs 50,000 but that's clearly not enough.

普里亚需要45万卢比来支付她去德国的旅费和住宿费。她的父亲已经卖掉了他的水牛，筹了5万卢比，但这显然还不够。

Meanwhile, Brijpal is busy looking for lenders. "I don't even have time to curse my fate. A person has agreed to rent my daughter a 0.22 Peep Sight Anschutz rifle, but I need money for her travel and stay," he said.

布里杰帕也忙着寻找能借钱的人。“我连抱怨的时间都没有。现在已经有人同意租给我女儿一支安斯楚兹步枪，但我需要钱来支付她的旅费和住宿费”，他说。

According to the Indian junior team coach at NRAI, Deepak Dubey, "She is indeed a rare talent. If given an opportunity, she can do wonders for the country. Unfortunately, financial constraints are jeopardizing her budding career. With the association's help, she has got her visa, but she will have to arrange for her ticket, stay, etc. The 0.22 Peep Sight Anschutz rifle alone costs Rs 3 lakh."

根据印度步枪协会的印度青年队教练迪帕克杜贝的说法，“她确实是个难得的人才。如果给她机会，她能为国家创造奇迹。不幸的是，经济拮据危及了她初露头角的事业。在协会的帮助下，她拿到了签证，但她必须自己安排机票、住宿等。单单这支安斯楚兹步枪就需要花费30万卢比。”

Dubey added that the government would have fully sponsored Priya's trip, had she been in the top 3. "But since she secured the fourth spot, she will have to fend for herself," he said.

杜贝补充说，如果普里亚进入前三名，政府将完全负担她的所有费用。“但由于她只获得了第四名，她就得靠自己了。”他说。
