Usha Rani, Cop-cum-Kabbadi champion rose from a poor town of Subedarpalaya in Yeshwanthpur near Bengaluru in Karnataka. As she was determined to become a Kabbadi player, she practised Kabbadi every morning whether it rained or shined. As a school child, she grew up watching Kabbadi at a club in front of her house. She joined the club and started playing Kabbadi at National level in Sub-Junior category.
She used to sell flowers for her daily living and was a source of support for her family. She got a job as a police person for her excellence in sports and was the youngest in the Karnataka State Police Women Kabbadi team. She won a Gold medal at the age of 29 years. Now, she is working hard to win the Gold Medal at the Asian Games in 2018. She has also become a role model to her brothers, sisters and other fellow sports persons. All this was achieved by her, through her dedication and her consistency in playing a prominent role in the Indian Kabbadi team.
