The case was first brought to my notice by @iamgroy08.
Athletes from North East have recently brought accolades to India in CWG 2022.
Subrata is in the nascent stage of his career and can make a name for the country in future. But, he needs support right now (2/n)

This is a copy of the selection letter. Although he had registered within the stipulated time, his passport only arrived today afternoon.
Subrata does not belong to an affluent family. He has so far received no monetary help from any state official or private sponsor. (3/n)

I have personally verified the case and reached out to the Senior Vice President of the All India Traditional Wrestling and Pankration Federation.
I asked CA Tamboli about the selection process, financial aspects and Subrata's case in particular.

Subrata received his passport only today and sent a scanned copy to the Federation.
It took almost 5 days for the passport to reach his Kailashahar residence from Kolkata. (5/n)

Subrata needs money to cover his flight fares, visa fees, transport expenses in Uzbekistan and other expenses.
The total expense comes to around ₹1 lakh. It will be a travesty if this young talent does not make it to Uzbekistan and get to showcase his skill.

The State officials claimed that they have no fund (expected reply).
The Federation informed that they can only arrange accommodation and food in Uzbekistan. Subrata has to manage travel & other expenses on his own.

I did not want to start a third-party fundraiser and wanted the generous contribution of the well-wishers to directly go to Subrata's bank account.
All of us together can easily raise ₹1 lakh. If he cannot go, it will bring his morale down. (11/n)

For the purpose of transparency, Subrata will share a scanned copy of his bank passbook.
In this way, all can see the total contribution made by the donors. I will keep everyone updated about Subrata's case.
Let's hope for the best. (12/n) 🙏
