Bengal's lesser-known athletes and the man who chisels them
Millennium Post Delhi
|July 07, 2025
KOLKATA: In 1987, when the South Asian Games brought Kolkata to dazzling life, Chandan Roychoudhury emerged as the youngest administrator in the host committee.
That early entry into sports governance marked the beginning of a remarkable career.
Now at 65, Roychoudhury is the President of the Bengal Olympic Association and the Bengal Paralympic Association, while continuing as the long-serving secretary of the Calcutta Rowing Club. His mission is to revive Bengal's sidelined sports and showcase the state's vast reservoir of hidden talent.
"Though we have glorified a few sports and forgotten the rest, our real strength lies in those forgotten arenas," says Roychoudhury.
