India’s most successful doubles specialist Shuttler Jwala Gutta has got a big surprise from Modi’s government. The union ministry had appointed Jwala as a member of the governing body of Sports Authority of India (SAI).
The 14-time national champion said she is looking forward to play her role in the development of sports in the country.
SAI Secretary SS Chhabra said in a letter to Jwala that “It is my pleasure to inform you that you have been appointed as the member of Governing Body of SAI. I am sure you would be able to spare your valuable time to attend Governing Body meetings as and when scheduled by the chairman.”
Jwala played in two Olympic games on behalf of India. She won the bronze medal at the 2011 World Championship. Jwala will attend the first meeting on March 28 in New Delhi.
