Shaktidoot Scheme Has Been A Game-changer For Grassroots Sports, Says Gujarat Sports Minister Harsh Sanghavi
The state's Table Tennis ecosystem is undergoing a quiet yet powerful revolution, and at the heart of this transformation is the visionary Shaktidoot Yojana, an initiative launched by the Government of Gujarat in 2006. Designed to nurture and elevate the next generation of sports talent, the scheme has been instrumental in propelling the state's athletes onto the national and international stage.
Among the finest examples of its success are paddlers Harmeet Desai, Manav Thakkar, and Manush Shah, who have represented India at the world’s most prestigious sporting events, including the 2024 Paris Olympics, and secured key victories at the Commonwealth Games, Asian Championships, and global tournaments.
