1. i suggest we start a thread 'jatland support fund' in which we can keep these details.
2. the amount details will be here and when a needy case comes and is scrutinised and approved an appropriate amount will be sanctioned and transferred to the person.
One of you brothers kindly open a thread by heading 'jatland support fund' in social responsibility forum and put these four names there with 5k each written in front of them.

Same story happend in asia games 1998

Same story happend in 1998 when asiad was in bangkok. N.G Dingko Singh is the most popular name in Indian boxing. If you take my word, the most feared name too. Dingko Singh was born on New Year’s Day in Lamlong, a remote area in Huidrom in Imphal district (Manipur ). There could not have been a better New Year’s gift to his parents than the birth of a legend in a state where sports hold a low key.
He was a wounded lion, after his name was dropped from the list of the Indian contingent to the Bangkok Asiad 1998 and he went wild, indulging in excessive drinks and losing his senses. Eventually, he was included in the Indian boxing team on ‘no cost to the government’ basis much to the relief of the national boxing coaches and the foreign expert who had expressed shock over the exclusion of his name. Apparently, Dingko Singh was a ferocious tiger in the boxing ring at Bangkok where he won the gold medal with ease and grace to the surprise of one and all.
Dingko Singh told in an informal discussion “I do not know why I was dropped from the Indian boxing team to the Bangkok Asian games.” This will remain a mystery for ever, and it will be wise to look ahead than to look back at someone’s misdeed.
If vijender manage to go, may be he get medal like dingko singh.
so its great chance for vijender sigh and boxing team of india to show their potential.
