મેઇન્સ
GS-II/GS-I (sports and society): Indian women's success in wrestling reflects grassroots akharas, state support and schemes such as Khelo India and TOPS, yet federation governance disputes and welfare of athletes remain concerns. The way forward is transparent federation administration, sustained funding of talent pipelines and safe training environments for women athletes.
