It happened just before my karate world championship. 🥋 Only 3 months were left for the tournament. 📅 And I got myself injured. 🤕 My training stopped 🚫 and I started to fall behind. 😔

My dream of representing my country 🇮🇳 didn’t seem to be fulfilled. 💔 But, being an athlete, I always bounced back. 💪 And it didn’t differ this time as well. 😌

In flashback, as a 10-year-old boy 👦, I started my journey as a Karateka. 🥋 Playing Martial arts is not merely a sport to me, it’s an odyssey toward self-discovery. 🧘‍♂️ Training had become an integral part of life. ❤️ In 2014, I began participating in local and state-level championships 🏆 and excelled every time.

I ranked 1st in Kumite in the 5th KWF Maharashtra State Karate Championship in the category of Under 15 in 2017 🥇, and in 2018 I won KWF India’s 1st Mumbai & District Karate Championship. 🥇 In 2023, I also came 1st in the ‘Kumite’ BUJUTSU Maharashtra State Inter-Dojo Karate Championship. 🥇

Eventually, the time came to represent my country internationally ✈️, but obstacles came too in the form of injury. 🤕 Though I had to wait till I was in the form to train myself again, I didn’t stop going to my martial arts training center and used to watch other athletes’ training. 👀

Coming back to where I left. One month before the championship, I returned to my training. 💪 I participated in the KWF World Championship 2023 in Japan. 🇯🇵 I played till the semi-final. 😊 I can say that I never felt prouder in my life when representing my country on foreign soil. 🇮🇳❤️

Because of my passion for sports, I wanted to explore the business aspect of this field as well. 💼 That led me to pursue Sports Management at IISM. 🎓 Moreover, I aspire to grow as a sports industry expert and contribute to the sports business by developing the grassroots-level sports of India- one of my childhood dreams. ✨

Colonel Rathore at Chitrakoot Stadium – Where Sports Get Serious 🏟️⚡

📍 Jaipur | Chitrakoot Stadium

Today, Cabinet Minister Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore — Olympian. Leader. Believer in grassroots sports — did something that matters.

He inspected the stadium.

Not a photo op. Not a speech from a car.

A full walkthrough.

🔍 What he checked:

✅ Current condition of grounds ✅ Available sports facilities ✅ Maintenance & cleanliness ✅ Players’ real needs & challenges

Alongside: BJP officials, local citizens, and government officers.

What he said:

“Sports are not just competition. They are the foundation of holistic youth development.”

Special focus: 🎯 Children & young players 🎯 Local-level quality training 🎯 Future-ready infrastructure

Orders given to officials:

📌 Better use of existing resources 📌 Roadmap for future development 📌 Connect more kids to sports

Why this is a big deal:

Because when a Cabinet Minister walks the ground — things actually move. Delays shrink. Accountability grows. And young athletes feel: Someone cares.

Chitrakoot Stadium isn’t just getting an inspection.

It’s getting a promise.

A promise that Jaipur’s children won’t have to travel miles for good coaching. That local grounds will shine. That future Olympians will rise from here.

From the man who won an Olympic medal for India.

Now building a path for the next generation.

No More Off-Seasons! 🏃‍♂️🏆 Col. Rajyavardhan Rathore Drops Massive Sports Plan for Rajasthan

The sporting landscape in Rajasthan is getting a serious tech and strategy upgrade! 🏗️⚡

Rajasthan's Sports Minister (and Olympic legend!) Col. Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore has just announced a brilliant initiative to fast-track athletes straight to national and international podiums.

The big headline? The sports department will now dedicate every single month to reviewing and upgrading ONE specific sport. 🗓️🎯

Why this matters for young athletes:

🧠 Laser Focus: Instead of treating all sports the same, the department will audit individual sports separately to fix unique issues (whether it’s modern synthetic tracks for athletics or advanced gear for shooting).

📅 Advance Planning: A strict "Pre-Training Calendar" is being developed so athletes don't have to wait around for trial dates or equipment delivery.

👟 Continuous Action: Zonal and inter-district tournaments will run continuously for all 12 months of the year, keeping athletes sharp and ready.

🔍 Personalized Coaching: Instructors are ordered to analyze each player's individual pros and cons rather than using old-school, one-size-fits-all training.

Col. Rathore's motto is clear: Talent, Training, and Transparency. With a record sports budget and a structured plan, Rajasthan's youth are officially geared up for a gold-medal future! 🥇🚀

Every youngster in India dreams of making the country proud by becoming a champion in any sport. But the window of opportunity is often narrow. Not anymore!

India's new National Sports Policy (NSP) is ensuring that every person in our society can fulfill their sporting dream, regardless of their background. Associate Professor and Management In Charge at IISM, Dr. Natarajan Pillai(PhD)., has shed light on how this new policy is going to uplift India on a socio-cultural level. 🇮🇳

From promoting indigenous sports like Mallakhamb and Kho-Kho to strengthening India's para athletes, this NSP is aiming at amplifying India's passion for sports beyond its current horizons.

Moreover, this revolution is going to further stimulate the sporting culture of our country — something we will cover in our later videos! So, stay tuned!🎬
