Reena Gurjar, a woman constable from Madhya Pradesh Police, has made India proud by winning not one but two silver medals at the prestigious World Police Games. Representing not just her state but the entire country, Reena proved that discipline and dedication in uniform can also shine on the sports stage.
The World Police and Fire Games, which witness participation from law enforcement agencies across the world, saw tough competition this year. But Reena’s skill, training, and fighting spirit helped her secure silver medals in Taekwondo—one in the individual category and another in the team event.
The Journey Behind the Medals
Reena Gurjar, who is posted as a constable in Madhya Pradesh, has a long history of martial arts training. Her journey started in 2009, and by 2012, she had already built a strong foundation in Taekwondo. Even after joining the police force, she continued her training and actively took part in departmental competitions.
Here’s a quick look at her achievements:
- Trained in Taekwondo from 2009 to 2012
- Represented India at the 2024 World Police Games
- Won silver in both individual and team Taekwondo categories
- Posted in MP Police as a constable while continuing active sports training
Support from the Force
According to Reena, her participation wouldn’t have been possible without the support of her department and senior officers. They not only encouraged her to train but also ensured she had the time and resources to prepare for an international-level competition. Such support is rare but critical when athletes are also serving in demanding public service roles.
She trained rigorously in the months leading up to the games, balancing her duties and workout sessions with discipline. Her performance has become an inspiration for many young women in the police force and beyond.
A Role Model in Uniform
Reena’s win is more than just a sporting success. It shows how women officers can break stereotypes and set new standards. She isn’t just serving the public as a police officer—she’s now also a decorated international athlete.
As someone from a small town background, her success story connects with countless others who aim to pursue their passion while also serving the nation. It proves that with support and dedication, a uniformed job need not limit your dreams.
Final Word
Reena Gurjar has given Madhya Pradesh and the country a proud moment to remember. Two silver medals at an international competition is no small feat, especially when achieved alongside full-time service. She has not just returned with medals but also with a message—hard work, support, and passion can make anything possible.
Young aspirants, especially those preparing for police or defence services, now have a new role model to look up to—one who wears both a badge and a black belt with pride.
