The city’s aquatics fraternity felicitated Pradeep Divgikar at the YMCA Water Polo League, Agripada, recently. It was an ideal 70th birthday gift for Divgikar, or Ponji to friends, who received a plaque with a list of his achievements and contribution to aquatics. Over a 30-year period, Divgikar held positions of Secretary, Treasurer and President in the Greater Mumbai Amateur Aquatic Association. He helped conduct many aquatic meets and has been a state selector of water polo teams besides representing India in the Indo-Sri Lanka meet in 1979 and leading Maharashtra (1975 to 1982). He was part of the W Rly team that won the Inter-Railways from 1977 to 1979. He is known as aquatics’ answer to Anandji Dossa, the late cricket statistician.
