“I am very happy that I managed to bag gold medals in both categories. Before, the competition I practiced Yoga every day. I attributed my success to my parents,” Dipa told Northeast Now.

“Before I started to practice Yoga, I was suffering from multiple diseases and had to take lots of medicines. I went to Hyderabad for my treatment and doctors advised me to perform yoga. After that I started performing Yoga, my health condition was improved significantly.  Now I am fully fit and have stopped taking medicines,” Dipa said.
