Private non-profit OGQ fuels India's sports medal tally
How a private non-profit is fueling India’s sports medal tally · livemint.com

There is a group called OGQ that helps Indian athletes get money to train and compete.

OGQ is a non-profit, which means it does not try to make money.

Instead, it depends on donations from people who want to help sports.

In the last five years, the number of donors has grown from 172 to 390.

That is more than twice as many people giving money.

However, fewer people are giving small amounts like ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh.

At the same time, more people are giving larger amounts.

Other companies like JSW Group and Reliance Foundation also help athletes.

With this support, Indian sportspersons can focus on winning medals.

This is why OGQ is important for India's sports success.
