Shri MS Tyagi ( Chairman ( Organisation & Administration), KKFI )
Kho Kho is more than just a sport—it is the very lifeblood for thousands of athletes and coaches, transforming lives by bestowing purpose, recognition, and a sense of belonging. My association with Kho Kho spans over six and a half decades as a player, coach, and administrator. This journey has been deeply enriching, especially witnessing the sport’s remarkable evolution in the past decade under the visionary leadership of KKFI President Shri Sudhanshu Mittal. His relentless pursuit of excellence and competitiveness has elevated Kho Kho, carving a distinct niche for it in the landscape of modern competitive sports.
I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mittal Ji on his re-election as KKFI President for a third consecutive term. His unwavering mission to expand Kho Kho globally and secure its place in elite sporting arenas such as the Asian Games and the Olympics is truly commendable. I also warmly congratulate my successor, Shri Upkar Singh Virk, who will now oversee the federation's affairs as General Secretary. His vast experience as both a sportsman and administrator will undoubtedly contribute immensely to the movement that KKFI has so passionately built.
My sincere congratulations go out to all the newly elected and nominated members of the Executive Committee, who now shoulder the responsibility of carrying this mission forward. Rest assured, I will always be available to offer my guidance and support for the cause of Kho Kho, and I remain committed to working for its advancement for as long as I live.
