Despite Byadagi's limited sporting facilities and educational challenges for girls, Manisha overcame obstacles through family and mentor support to excel in her karate pursuits.
"Manisha is an enthusiastic girl. She has been eager to learn and adopt skills in karate excellently since her childhood. She cracked the toughest exam of an international karate coach held by the World Karate Federation (WKF) recently.
It's a proud moment for us. Manisha is a committed woman. She can achieve anything if she wants. She is giving free karate coaching in Byadagi for primary and high school girls regularly," lauded Narayan Pujar, a karate trainer and her mentor.
"I aimed to achieve something in karate at the international level. With the support of my parents and mentors, I did it. Girls in the Haveri district get karate training at least at a basic level because it is required for their self-defence. I am working in this regard," said Manisha Kabbur.

Social media calls it ‘cover-up' as Prada sends team to India to know more about Kolhapuri chappal
A team from Prada recently visited Kolhapur. The Italian fashion brand wanted to understand the history and craftsmanship of the famous Kolhapuri chappals. They met with local artisans and shopkeepers to learn how the traditional leather slippers were made. One shopkeeper shared that the Prada team had explored the biggest market in Kolhapur. They were especially interested in a leather bag used by conductors and petrol pump workers to store cash. 'They had come to see authentic leather bags and liked our Kolhapur, especially the Kapashi Kolhapuri chappal," One shopkeeper told ANI. Another vendor mentioned that the team had come to inspect manufacturing units. They observed the technical details of how these chappals were produced. "We offer authentic stitching and original quality Kolhapuri chappals," another vendor said. Last month, Prada faced strong backlash for allegedly copying the work of Indian artisans without giving them proper credit or payment. The popular fashion brand admitted that its latest summer collection had been inspired by the famous Kolhapuri chappals. However, those who raised the complaint say that Prada has still not offered a formal apology or any compensation to the affected artisans. Earlier in July, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in the Bombay High Court. It demanded that Prada pay damages to the artisans of Maharashtra. On July 16, the Bombay High Court dismissed the PIL. The bench, led by Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Sandeep Marne, questioned the legal right of the five advocates who had filed the case. 'You are not the owner of this Kolhapuri chappal. What is your locus, and what is the public interest? Any person aggrieved can file a suit. What is the public interest in this?' the court asked. Social media users reacted to an ANI video of Prada's Kolhapur visit. One of them called it a 'coverup'. 'I hope they don't learn the formula, apply on their brand and earn millions. Just outsource it to them and let them earn too,' wrote another user. Another wrote, 'So social media abuse made them realise' while another remarked, 'It's screaming PR.' 'All Prada chappals should have GI tag indicating this product originates from KA and MH,' came from another. 'Let the Artisans benefit with collaboration. If Prada can keep the nomenclature of products as is, and share benefits with Artisans it's a win-win for both,' suggested another.
