    Digital Desk: The family of India's U-17 women's football team
    captain Astam Oraon will be watching television for the first time at their

    district. The district administration arranged for television and an inverter
    to be delivered to Ms. Oraon's house before the first match so that her family
    could watch her bouts.



    "Ashtam is prepared for the game. Additionally, their
    relatives and the locals for the audience (TV and inverter given),
    "Gumla's office, the deputy commissioner, tweeted.

    in Ms. Oraon's hamlet, which is also receiving one for the first time.



    India, one of the three tournament debutants, has secured an
    automatic spot in the World Cup as the host.
