As the Vice President of the Athletics Federation of India, Anju identified her role as a vital platform for advocacy and change. She sees her position as an opportunity to connect with athletes, especially women, and support their needs. Her approachable demeanor and experience make her a relatable leader, often seen as an elder sister figure among her peers.
Through her foundation, she trains underprivileged girls, not just as athletes but as confident individuals. Her success stories, like that of Shaili Singh—who became a world number one in her age category within four years—showcase her belief in systemic support.
