Arre bhaiyo, suno! Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ) ne 2024-25 mein athletes ko ₹77 crore ka support diya hai. Ye toh govt ke TOPS scheme ke ₹34.8 crore se bhi zyada hai! Private funding badh rahi hai, aur India 2036 Olympics ke liye taiyaar ho raha hai.
Indian sports ke liye ek kamaal ki khabar hai! Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ), jo Geet Sethi aur Prakash Padukone jaise legends ne banayi hai, ab athletes par record ₹77 Crore kharch kar rahi hai 2024-25 mein. Ye figure government ki Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) ke budget ₹34.8 Crore se lagbhag double hai.
OGQ ek non-profit hai, aur unka funding poora private donations, corporate partnerships, aur philanthropy se aata hai. Pichhle 5 saalon mein, OGQ ko donate karne walon ki sankhya 390 tak pahunch gayi hai. Bade bade companies jaise Axis Bank, Bajaj Group, HDFC Group, HCL Group, Zerodha, aur Delhivery bhi support kar rahe hain. Especially bade donations, jo ₹1 crore se zyada hain, woh 12 se badh kar 31 ho gaye hain!
Ye private paisa Indian sports ke liye bahut zaroori hai, kyunki national federations ke paas aksar training, sports science, aur international travel ke liye kam budget hota hai. Jaise India 2036 Olympics host karne ka dream dekh raha hai, aise non-profits ka role aur bhi important ho gaya hai. Data bata raha hai ki OGQ ke supported athletes ne Olympics aur Paralympics mein 13 out of 21 Olympic medals aur 33 out of 48 Paralympic medals jeete hain.
Sabse achhi baat ye hai ki OGQ apne income ka 85% se zyada seedha athlete welfare par kharch karta hai, jaise fees, equipment, aur coaching. Iski wajah se woh 178 senior athletes, 110 junior scholars, para-athletes aur sports academies ko support kar pa rahe hain.
Ye model dikhata hai ki CSR aur private philanthropy kaise national sports goals achieve karne mein madad kar sakte hain. Ab dekhna hoga ki OGQ future mein bhi donation ka momentum bana paata hai ya nahi.
