Bharat Forge to support top five sub junior Tennis players…

Bharat Forge is proud to be supporting Lakshya since its inception. LAKSHYA(Looking at Knowledge in Sports and Help Youth Achieve) is a city based Non Profit Sports Organization which identifies and nurtures the talented sportspersons from our country to help them achieve sporting glory. Its vision is to see India emerge as a strong sports powerhouse. Lakshya is currently supporting over 30 budding sports champions in the six disciplines viz. Shooting, Chess, Tennis, Wrestling, Boxing & Cricket.

Bharat Forge is committed to support the Tennis endeavor, where we are sponsoring 5 Tennis players. Our sponsorship has helped the players to train abroad, and take part in events within the country and abroad. It is sponsorships such as these, that we believe go a long way in contributing to the development of these young sports talent and also encourage them on the demanding path to the top.

The five LAKSHYA players selected for the sponsorship, in April 2010 are the top three players in their respective age groups:

  • 16 year old Ankita Raina basically from Ahmedabad having shifted base to Pune won the senior national women’s championships and was the member of the Senior       FED Cup Squad.

  • Arjun Kadhe, a Pune boy finished as No 1 in the Boys under 16 event and played for India at the Junior Davis Cup.

  • Pratharna Thombare from Barshi in Solapur district, Junior FED Cup player.

  • Rutuja Bhosale won the girls under 14 ITF title and selected for the ITF Asian touring team.

  • Sahil Deshmukh from Pune Currently ranked No 1 in the Boys under 12 event.

    • This will probably be for the first time in the history of city sports that five young and country’s top junior tennis players Ankita Raina, Arjun Kadhe, Pratharna Thombare, Rutuja Bhosale and Sahil Deshmukh have been sponsored by a corporate.

    We wish the players the very best and are confident that they will bring laurels to our nation. We appeal to you to join hands in this noble sporting cause. For more info, do visit  www.lakshyasports.com.
