During the year 2005 the Sports Coaching Foundation has requested Tribal Welfare Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh with a proposal to identify rural talented players from various districts of Andhra Pradesh.
The Commissioner, Tribal Welfare Department, Hyderabad (Shri IAS) has approved the said proposed project. After through talent search the Tribal Welfare Department Authorities identified 15 tribal children from each district and deputed them for 25 days summer coaching camp to Hyderabad. Out of 250 boys SCF India has identified me as a cricketer with potential, their efficiency in recognizing my talent led to their effort to put me in a Tribal Welfare Hostel, Hyderabad. I have undergone 15 months rigorous training under personal supervision of Shri. Saibaba, Coach, SCF India.
When I complained of the long distance from the hostel to the SCF ground, the SCF has obilized and shifted me to Masab Tank Academy and since then the SCF has taken care of my accommodation and other basic needs. This surely helped me to focus on my love – cricket.
My parents survive on daily wages with my two younger sisters and a brother who are still in the primary educational age group. My condition was worse when compared to the character of the lead role in the well known film Slum Dog Millionaire; I consider him fortunate because he is someone who acknowledges the way of life in a city like Mumbai, whereas I am from a very much remote and backward place, an unknown, thick forest. I am reminded of the days where I even used to play without wearing slippers. |
