Nurturing
Excellence

of measuring excellence is the medals/
championships won at different competitions,
particularly international and national
championships. The main clientele group of
SAG which is targeted for nurturing
excellence is under 19 age group, mainly
schoolgoing boys and girls. The following
analysis is made on the basis of medals as
well as participation. In the international
competitions, the SAG’s main contribution is

Services offers financial assistance.
