Under his leadership the federation has grown from a handful of clubs in Punjab to a national body with affiliated units in 28 states and union territories.
A lifelong practitioner and coach, the President has personally supervised national championships, referee certification programmes and rural academy projects. He continues to lead the federation's technical committee, and represents Indian Taekwondo interests at national and international forums.
