The Nalco has come forward to support the journey of the budding footballer Chandan Nayak, who has been selected for two-month training at Bayern Munich, the iconic football club in Germany, as an academy player.
While felicitating the 11-year-old boy from the Sabar Sahi slum of the city on Tuesday, Nalco CMD Dr Tapan Kumar Chand said the Nalco is proud to felicitate this soccer prodigy of the State. “To me, he is the Indian Messi in making.”
Dr Chand handed over a cheque of Rs1 lakh to Chandan.
“Nalco is the first organisation to have come forward with financial assistance to my child,” said Chandan's mother Duhita Nayak.
