Co- Chairman, OC-SAG
The conduct of the 12th South Asian Games in Guwahati & Shillong was a grand success. The standards of the various sports disciplines have also been raised
during the Games. A record number of 3500 athletes and officials participated in the Games.
I thank the Hon’ble Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India and his entire team who spared no efforts along with the Indian Olympic
Association to make these Games an astounding success. My sincere thanks to the National Sport Federations and the State Olympic
Associations whose relentless support ensured the success of the Games.
The 12th South Asian Games would not have been a success without the active support and assistance rendered by the State
Governments of Assam & Meghalaya.
Finally, on behalf of the IOA, I wish to thank all the volunteers who worked day and night to make the 12th South Asian Games a
memorable event.
