The performances of our athletes at the CWG 2018 has been praiseworthy. But both the athletes and we are aware that this is only the first test. There are bigger and more significant events like the Asian Games and other international tournaments and world championships to be played before the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Our initiative ‘Coaches Excellence Programme’ has been very well received and this will help in creating an even more powerful and meaningful eco system specially at the grass root level. I am also pleased to share that we have also registered OGQ as a not for profit entity in USA and have a young and active NRI board who are committed to helping and supporting the OGQ movement.
