My journey in gymnastics started in the year 1965. I was always involved with physical activities ever since I was a child and my guardians were always supportive about my further career choice and my brother was my biggest inspiration behind my choosing sports as a career. Gymnastics found its roots in Tripura through a combination of local enthusiasm and dedicated coaching in my knowledge. The state of Tripura in India has a long-standing tradition of cultivating gymnastics talent, largely owing to its hilly terrain and the inclination of its youth towards physical activities. However, it was in the mid-20th century that organized efforts began to take shape. The Tripura Gymnastics Association as I have witnessed, established in 1958, played a pivotal role in formalizing and promoting the sport. Under the guidance of visionary coaches and administrators, the state initiated systematic training programs and invested in infrastructure, paving the way for the emergence of gymnastics as a prominent discipline in Tripura. Over the years and since I am a senior I have witnessed and been through the phases of development of gymnastics as a sports in the state of Tripura, the state's gymnasts have achieved national and international recognition, cementing Tripura's reputation as a breeding ground for gymnastic talent and contributing significantly to the sport's growth in India.
I was previously associated with the sports authority Tripura, where I represented my state in gymnastics and I have participated both National and International. Then I was a chief National coach and I have worked in the Federation and gradually I took my retirement from this field.
