To mark Women’s Day, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, Secretary (Sports) Sujata Chaturvedi and former Olympian and badminton star Pulella Gopichand, along with other prominent athletes, launched the ASMITA newsletter. The newsletter captures the essence of ‘Sports For Women’ mission started by the government in 2021.

The newsletter also highlights the amazing reach of ASMITA leagues and how they are transforming the lives of young women who are aspiring to take up sports as a career. Former All-England champion Gopichand observed that they say women had won more Olympic medals for India and it is only fair that they need to be promoted even more. “ASMITA is a great platform and when 15 Sports Ministers join Dr Mandaviya to talk about the future of sports and chase our Olympics dreams, it is a great initiative. Only the right policies have to be made properly and implemented,” he said.
