  • ICH-NGO is doing good job of extending guidance and assistance to newly registered and accredited NGO of different regions.
    H.V.P.Mandal India will like to be associated with this voluntary organization. We have glorious history of 100 years in the field of traditional physical culture, sports and games; but we do need experience of working with the world body UNESCO. Hope, we shall get good exposure in this direction. Also, we can share our expertise in the field of TSG. Let us join hands to work for the attainment of the objectives of UNESCO.. With all good luck and best wishes. Please keep us on your mailing list.

  • TSG will get significance when it will have access to Olympic platform. A fortnight prior to starting of Olympic Games,the host country should organize international youth camp at the outskirt of Olympic city where youth of different countries will have scope of developing friendship and understanding, as well opportunity to display and exchange of TSG and other cultural specialties. Towardst the conclusion of the camp, grand cultural festival should be organized to provide best performances of TSG therefrom selection of items of TSG could be made for their display at the opening function of competitions at different venues.
    This will help TSG to get worldwide projection.
