Sports Authority of India has its headquarters in New Delhi. However, SAI does have a centre in West Bengal. Netizens are impressed by the minister's quick response and call to action.
That is a quick and dedicated response. Incredible!

We hope that Srinivasa Gowda performs well in his trials so that he has a chance to represent the nation on international platforms. It is only owing to the power and reach of social media that Srinivasa has been able to get the attention he deserves and quickly given the chance to showcase his talent.
