My journey in Kabaddi has taken me from small village fields to the Asian Games podium. I am grateful for these honors, but for me, they are simply reminders of the responsibility I have to nurture the next generation of players.

I was honored to be felicitated by the Honorable Governor and Chief Minister of Karnataka during the National Sports Day celebration. On this day, I was also inducted into the Karnataka Olympic Association's Hall of Fame.

Here I am meeting the Honorable Union Minister of Sports, Shri Anurag Thakur. As a member of the All India Council of Sports, I presented a request for programs to strengthen Kabaddi across the nation.

It was a pleasure to meet two-time Olympic medalist and badminton star PV Sindhu. Her father, P.V. Ramana, and I received the Arjuna Award in the same year, 2000.
