Geeta Samota, a daughter of India, has achieved what was once considered a mere dream. Geeta Samota, a Sub-Inspector with the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), has created history by hoisting the Indian flag atop Mount Everest, standing at 8,849 meters.
Sports News: A new and glorious chapter has been added to the history of India's security forces. Sub-Inspector Geeta Samota of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has conquered the world's highest peak, Mount Everest (8,849 meters), creating history. This is the first time in the 56-year glorious history of the CISF that a female member of the force has hoisted the Indian flag on Everest. The CISF spokesperson announced this unique achievement on Tuesday, stating that Geeta successfully completed the arduous climb on Monday.
CISF's First Female Officer on Everest
Geeta Samota is the first female CISF personnel to climb the world's highest peak. She completed the climb on the morning of May 20th and hoisted the Indian flag on the summit of Everest. As soon as this news reached CISF headquarters, a wave of excitement and pride swept through the entire force. The CISF spokesperson stated that Geeta's achievement is an inspiration not only for her but for every security personnel, every woman, and every Indian.
Hailing from Chaak village in Sikar district, Rajasthan, Geeta Samota's life has been filled with struggles. The 35-year-old Geeta's early life was spent in sports, particularly hockey, where she performed exceptionally well. However, an injury brought her sporting career to a halt. Instead of giving up, she chose the path of national service by joining the CISF in 2011. She is currently stationed at Udaipur Airport.
Conquering Everest: An Example of Courage, Dedication, and Determination
When Geeta turned to mountaineering, the CISF did not have a dedicated team or training structure in this field. Despite this, she trained herself, faced difficulties, and successfully climbed Mount Satopanth (7075 meters) and then Mount Lobuche (6119 meters) in Nepal. Both missions were successfully completed in 2019, making Geeta the first CAPF female personnel to achieve this feat.
Climbing Mount Everest is considered one of the most challenging missions for any mountaineer. The courage Geeta displayed amidst blizzard conditions, oxygen deficiency, sub-zero temperatures, and treacherous terrain is commendable. This climb is not just a physical test but also the ultimate test of mental fortitude. Geeta passed this test with flying colors.
Inspiration for Women
Geeta Samota's success is not just a mountaineering achievement; it's a message to millions of Indian women that no goal is too far if the intentions are b. Her adventurous feat, alongside her service in a force like the CISF, has become the best example of women's empowerment.
The Director-General and other senior officers of the CISF have congratulated Geeta on her achievement. The force stated that Geeta's victory has not only brought honor to the force but also instilled new confidence in security forces across the country. In the future, the CISF will provide more opportunities for women to participate in mountaineering and other adventurous expeditions.
