She is currently being supported by JSW Sport under the Sports Excellence Programme. Geetika won the gold medal in the 67 kg category in the junior Asian championship in Kazakhstan in June this year. Geetika was actively participating in sports at a school level with her focus being athletics. But the turning point came when her family moved from her native village Agroha to Hisar to provide a better education for her younger brother and her. In an attempt to competitively pursue athletics, her father had taken her to the Mahabir Stadium in Hisar but they returned disappointed without finding any coach. In the nearby wrestling hall, young Geetika was drawn to other girls practising wrestling. She was given the title of Bharat Kesari and adjudged the best wrestler, besides being honoured with the prestigious Bhim Award by the Haryana Government. In 2006, She received the Arjuna Award.
