Speaking on the occasion, Kalyan Chaubey said: “The ‘Chintan Shivir’ is a much-needed step in bringing all stakeholders under one roof. It was an honour to represent IOA, country’s largest multi-discipline sports governing body, presenting our thoughts and ‘way-forward’ in collaborating with Sports Ministries of States and UTS.”
