Pearl Milind Colvalcar was recently honored with the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar 2020 (President’s Medal - National Award Winner for Children 2020) by President of India Ram Nath Kovind, for her excellence in sports. The 13-year-old student is a champion at sailing – skiff and windsurfing – and aims to represent India at the Asian level in near future.

“Skiff sailing is not known to many. It is heart-warming to see Pearl Milind Colvalcar excel in this unique area. Interacting with her, I got to know that she has also won the “Youngest Sailor” Award at a sailing event in Hyderabad”. ~ Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India congratulating Pearl Colvalcar
