Dular Marandi (born 15 July 1995) is an Indian professional footballer from Jharkhand, who plays as a forward for SSB Women Football Club in the Indian Women's League and represents the India women's national football team. She works with the Border Security Force and is stationed at Siliguri.
Dular hails from Kadokhicha village, Dumka district, one of the most backward districts of India in Jharkhand. Her elder sister took care of her during the childhood and encouraged her to play football. Her brother had to stop education due to financial difficulties.[1] Dular was spotted by a Priest from the Dumka, who selected her for missionary football team and later joined her in the SAI Girls Football Training Centre in Hazaribagh.[2] In 2009, when she was 13, her mother died and a year later, her brother too died. In 2015, she lost her father.[3] Thanks to her sports talent, in 2017 she was employed by Shastra Seema Bal (BSF). She trains under coach Juliet Miranda at SSB.[4] She has two younger brothers.
