Yesterday, this paper carried a front-page report about Mumbai-based swimmer Virdhawal Khade, who holds national records in several categories, struggling to raise money to compete in the World Championships in Kazan, Russia, next month.

The report stated how Khade’s training has been affected as he is juggling his job as a tehsildar along with his swimming training. Left with little time to train, Khade, who is an Asian Games bronze-medallist, admitted that he was finding it tough to stay motivated enough.
