Harvir Singh Nehwal was present at the Press conference addressed by his daughter and badminton player Saina Nehwal, who reached the State capital for the inauguration of Yonex Showroom.
Harvir Singh said that he himself is a scientist and most of his family members are engineers. But looking to the sports talent of Saina, he selected sports for her. He said that he never allowed Saina to play with dolls. In place of education, he always had encouraged Saina to improve sports. He said that at the beginning, many a time, he had been sleepless while collecting fund for Saina’s tournaments.
However, he did not allow fund crisis to become a stumbling block in Saina’s sports. Harvir Singh said that Chhattisgarh is a prosperous state. Arrangement for good academy and coaches should be made in Chhattisgarh, so that the sports persons here may not depend on any other state of city, he said.
