Arunima Sinha Biography
Arunima Sinha was born on 20 July 1988 in Ambedkar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. Coming from a middle class family, Arunima was interested in sports since childhood. The father was a lancet in the army. When Arunima was four years old, her father died. The economic conditions of the house were not good, but the circumstances did not become an obstacle in his will to play. Arunima played football in school, later representing the college in volleyball nationally. Also played hockey. Being an athlete, Arunima learned to fight at every step. The result of this was that when the miscreants wanted to snatch their gold chains in the train, Arunima fought. Lying on the track, she kept fighting herself and is still struggling every day and every moment.
Arunima’s early education took place in the town itself. Arunima has mastered Sociology as a Higher Education. He has also taken mountaineering training from the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering in Uttarkashi. When Arunima was 14 years old, her sister Lakshmi was slapped by some miscreants. At that time, Arunima had beaten those miscreants. In many interviews and motivational speech, Arunima has said that this attitude could develop in her due to sports. Therefore every human being should be connected to some or the other sport.

But soon after four months of treatment at Delhi AIIMS in 2011, Arunima went straight to meet Bachendri Pal instead of going home.
