About NGO:
Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ) is a program of the Foundation for Promotion of Sports and Games, a Not for Profit (Section 25) company, which is committed to supporting deserving and talented Indian sportspersons with an aim to help them win Olympic Gold Medals. OGQ bridges the gap between the best athletes in India and the best athletes in the world thus helping creating a level playing field for our athletes to enable them to be competitive at the highest level of sport. OGQ strives to compliment the efforts of the Indian Government and various Sports Federations in identifying and funding the best and most deserving medal prospects for the Olympic games. OGQ has short-listed six individual disciplines viz. shooting, athletics, boxing, wrestling, archery and badminton as the ones in which Indian athletes have the strongest potential to win Olympic medals. OGQ brings together eminent sportspersons, business leaders, coaches, sportswriters and talent scouts to identify emerging athletes, understand their training needs and requirements and raise funds to be used for supporting athletes with Olympic medal winning potential.
Impact:
Nanao Singh (Boxing) - Nanao is a 20 year old boxer supported by OGQ in the 49 kgs weight category who is ranked at World No. 4 in his weight category. Nanao recently had a serious hand injury, which was a career threatening injury, and the Boxing Federation of India (IBF) did not give him treatment. OGQ Initiative: OGQ showed him to 3 of the best orthopaedic surgeons in the country who all recommended that immediate surgery was the best long term option for Nanao. We got him operated on 24th April 2010 by Dr. Sudhir Warrier who is regarded as the best hand specialist in the country and we have put into place a comprehensive time bound rehabilitation program for Nanao. OGQ Impact: Nanao is now back to full fitness and strength. He fought his first competition after surgery at the National Games at Ranchi in February 2011. This is a great achievement for us.
