• Approx. 3,64,900 units sold in 2022 against 2,36,500 units in 2021 across the top 7 cities, rising by 54% yearly; the last peak was seen in 2014 when 3.43 lakh units were sold
• MMR records the highest sales of approx. 1,09,700 units in 2022, followed by NCR with approx. 63,700 units
• Nearly 3,57,600 new units were launched in 2022 against 2,36,700 units in 2021, rising by 51% y-o-y; total new launches in 2022 remain lower than the previous peak of 2014 when >5.45 lakh units were launched in the top 7 cities
• MMR & Hyderabad witness maximum new launches in 2022, together accounting for nearly 54% of total new launches in the year
• 35% of total new supply was in the price bracket of INR 40 – 80 lakh, 28% in INR 80 lakh – INR 1.5 Cr budget & 17% in the ticket price of > INR 1.5 Cr
• NCR restricts new supply in 2022 to approx. 22,350 units despite robust housing sales of 63,700 units
• Available inventory decreased by a mere 1% in 2022 over 2021 due to robust new housing supply during the year
• Residential prices across the top 7 cities rise between 4-7% annually

Despite the gradual hike in property prices and home loan interest rates in 2022, it has been a fantastic year for residential real estate. Latest ANAROCK Research indicates that housing sales in the top 7 cities have created a new peak in 2022, breaching the previous high of 2014. Approx. 3,64,900 units were sold in 2022 against 2,36,500 units in 2021 across the top 7 cities – rising by 54% on Y-o-Y. The last peak was seen in 2014 when 3.43 lakh units were sold across the top 7 cities.

In terms of cities, MMR witnessed the highest sales of approx. 1,09,700 units in 2022, followed by NCR with approx. 63,700 units. The two realty hotspots are together once again the leading residential markets.

Meanwhile, new launches across the top 7 cities saw a 51% annual rise – from 2,36,700 units in 2021 to nearly 3,57,600 new units in 2022. MMR and Hyderabad witnessed maximum new launches in 2022, together comprising nearly 54% share of the total new launches in the year.

Anuj Puri, Chairman – of ANAROCK Group, says, “2022 has been a phenomenal year for residential real estate despite all headwinds including rising property prices, interest rate hikes and all geopolitical tensions etc. Housing sales in the top 7 cities breached the previous highs of 2014 while new launches in comparison remained restricted.”

“While it was widely anticipated that the rise in property costs and interest rates towards the second half of 2022 would have a cascading impact on the residential sales, Q4 2022 remained quite robust with as many as 92,160 units sold in the period,” says Puri. “Interestingly, NCR became the shining star in 2022 which deliberately restricted new supply in the year to approx. 22,350 units but witnessed robust housing sales of 63,700 units.”

“Further, as we march into a new year, we anticipate the current sales momentum in the housing sector to continue in the first quarter of 2023. The appetite for homeownership has remained undeterred, with maximum sales being driven by the end-users. However, various risks loom large around the residential segment. A lot will depend on how the home loan interest rates pan out over the next year.”

Puri goes on to state that in 2023, we may see new launches remain well under control across most top cities. Ready-to-move-in will continue to top buyer demand but the demand for new launches will also gain momentum. This is large because the new supply in the market is and will continue to be dominated by the large and listed developers in the new year. There is a sense of confidence among the buyers for these developers and hence they will continue to perform well and see significant sales, just as they did in 2022.

India Inc. has already started pinning hopes on various economic reforms in the upcoming Union Budget 2023-24. Unavoidably, there is quite a bit of overlap with previous years in the form of recurring demands which have, so far, not been or insufficiently met.

 1. The demands for single-window clearance and industry status for real estate are among the recurrent ones and have yet to be addressed. The sector hopes that the forthcoming budget will finally address it.

2. The government must offer more incentives to boost affordable housing. To a noticeable extent, the pandemic derailed the affordable housing growth story since early 2020 – one segment that the current government has rightly stressed since taking charge in 2014. The affordable housing supply by private players has reduced significantly since Covid-19, largely because its buyer class was impacted economically and hence went into wait-and-watch mode. Now, there is a need to make this segment attractive again, not least of all because it resonates well with the government’s housing for all initiative.

 3. There is an express need for more tax sops for home buyers as well as investors. The INR 2 lakh tax rebate on housing loan interest under Section 24 of the Income Tax Act needs to be hiked to at least INR 5 lakh. This will add momentum to housing demand, particularly in the affordable segment

 4. The Budget should offer a degree of personal tax relief, either by way of lower tax rates or by readjusting tax slabs. Doing so would also help boost housing absorption. The last increase in the deduction limit under Section 80C (to INR 1.5 lakh a year) was in 2014. Another favourable revision is long overdue, though it is admittedly unlikely. Instead, we may see the Budget further incentivising MSMEs and SMEs that are still struggling post the pandemic.

 5. Government spending on infrastructure has been exemplary and may get a further boost in the forthcoming budget. The positive correlations of infrastructure development with all real estate asset classes are well established.

 6. Perhaps most importantly, the government should seriously consider revising the price bandwidths for homes to qualify as affordable housing to align with the market dynamics of different cities. The size of units as per the current definition (60 sq. m. carpet area) is fairly appropriate, but the catch-all pricing band of up to INR 45 lakh for affordable housing is definitely not appropriate across most cities.

For instance, a price band of INR 45 lakh or below is far too low in a city like Mumbai, where it should be increased to INR 85 lakh or more. In other major cities, the qualifying price band should be increased to INR 60-65 lakh. Such a move would have more homes qualifying as affordable housing, and many more homebuyers would be able to avail of the current benefits like reduced GST at 1% without ITC, and other government subsidies.

As per recent research, wireless (leadless pacemaker) has >99% implant success rate and 63% fewer long-term complications than conventional pacemaker and eliminates pocket-related and lead-related complications.[1]Patients can be mobilized within a few hours after the procedure and can return to normal activities on the next day requiring maximum of 24 hours hospitalization. There is a need to raise awareness on this new technology as well as its benefits.

Normally an adult has a heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute at rest. When heart rate drops below 40 beats per minute people experience tiredness, fainting episodes and serious injury to body. Pacemaker device help maintain the optimal heart rate and can be used for treating this condition of low heart rate.

Speaking about this, Dr Babu Ezhumalai, Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Fortis Malar Hospital, Chennaisaid, “Traditional pacemaker has two parts namely pulse generator (battery) and lead. Through a minor surgical incision, thepulse generator is implanted beneaththe skin in upper chest wallbelow the shoulder bone and a long lead passing through a vein connects this pulse generator to heart. The implantation procedure requires temporary withholding of blood thinner therapy, 3-7 days of hospital stay and removal of stitches one week after the procedure. There is a small bump in the upper chest. At times,there may be a possibility of lead-related complications and pocket-related complications. Traditional pacemaker can be single or dual chamber pacemaker with an average battery longevity of 7-8 years.”

Adding further, Dr Ezhumalai, said,“In a normal heart, electrical impulses originate in the upper chamber of heart and this impulse is conducted to the lower chamber and other parts of the heart. Dual chamber leadless pacemaker provides AV synchrony, that is, senses anomalies in these impulse events and transmits it to the right ventricle. Leadless pacemakers, because of the way they function, do not cause any obstruction to the veins which are otherwise imported for patients undergoing kidney dialysis functions (catheter inserted in the veins for dialysis of patients with kidney diseases).

Wireless (leadless) pacemaker is the world’s smallest and lightest pacemaker currently available.[2] It is tiny (less than a tenth size of traditional pacemaker), comparable in size to a large vitamin capsule and weighs less than 2 grams.[3]Wireless pacemaker does not require the use of lead or chest incision. It is delivered via pin hole in the thigh and implanted directly within the heart. Implantation of leadless pacemaker requires less than 30 minutes with rare chances of infection.[4]It is cosmetically good with no incision, stitches and scar, and invisible to the patients after implantation. Blood-thinner therapy, if ongoing, can be continued without interruption. The post-procedure recovery time is quicker.Leadless pacemakers are MRI compatible with an average battery longevity of a single chamber leadless pacemaker being 12yearsand that of dual chamber pacemaker being 8-13 years.

The past two years of Covid-19 pandemic have seen multiple changes in the Human Resource (HR) domain. This has been at the local, national and global levels. The trouble is, with the confusion, which a phrase like “global HR” makes, reference to global HR is often a generalization of experiences of select part of the English- speaking world. But blinkers that many people wear allow them to see change only in important sectors, not always in the sectors that sustain them.

Globally, one is looking at a small window. In reality, the world is bigger than our own. The corporate sector is a small percentage of the employability scenario. The data which people work on is often drawn only from this sector. Thus it is that generalization gets based on perceptions. There is no need to quarrel with this, but there is a need to understand that the word “global” is being used in a loose sense.

There are other problems of definition and understanding. When one talks of employability, one needs to keep in mind that a large part of the rural and agricultural sector earns its livelihood in a self-employed mode. A lot of the service sector, such as blacksmiths, mechanics, cobblers and even household helps, are in the self-employed mode. There is little data on this.

Secondly, what has changed in the HR scenario is often focused on the changes and issues in corporate terms. There is little experiential data available. The change of HR scenario is a wider issue. Consider the hospitality sector. Some of these are in prime locations in multi-storey buildings of important metropolitan centres. Using this as an example, empirically one notices that many of the hotels lodged in these locations have a fractured existence. They have outsourced catering, laundry, transportation, and sometimes even medical concerns. There are occasions when a guest falling ill has to find a doctor for himself. Such cases have been few in the past. Clearly, much of the hospitality sector is undergoing change. What hurts profits and what cannot be absorbed has been changed. Empirically, this creates unusual experiences for the user.

One can ask whether despite adversities, there were any opportunities in disguise during the pandemic that may have benefited select groups. The truth is, there is no such thing as a total opportunity or a total loss. In the worst of situations, there is always some environment where advantages come out of it. With the Covid pandemic also, there are advantages, but often in a limited sectoral sense. They often show in terms of profitability and growth. For instance, pandemic has been to the advantage of the pharmaceutical sector and the industry of online business. After nearly two years of spending on video conferences and online meetings, the first experience of physical meetings is seen differently. In fact, no one situation has been a total gainer. So also is the case with the pandemic. Some facets of business gained and others lost.

An example in the IT sector may be helpful. The question is the future nature of this sector. Will distance still be factored in sales, investment of time? The second question is that of HR. Will it be changed? In reality, nothing has changed except the location of employees at work time: Are they working from home or in the office?

The third issue can be the appraisal system, of performance and inter-personnel exchanges. Companies would need to examine how the system is structured. It is obvious the appraisal assumptions will have to be re-examined. The focus will have to reorient to a new working environment.

One is often hearing of the HR sector having to change when Covid-19 set in and then readjust with the lifting of the pandemic. However, the ailment is here to stay. From pandemic it may become endemic. People will need to get used to it.

The ailment has affected organized work style in a number of ways, including job design. Externalities of jobs have in many ways changed. Those who are not savvy, smart and conversant with electronics are being abandoned to work-ghetto spaces. This is a substantial proportion of work force. Simple things like the number of documents that now needs to be downloaded for each online service is exponential. Such a push to make money on electronic platform is immense. This is being given an aura of a move in the right direction.

In this context, the upcoming 49th IFTDO world conference, which is happening at New Delhi in May, is a very valuable effort that needs to be observed and replicated. The HR fraternity is big and one is talking of scenarios running into thousands and more. While one could say that HR fraternity is too big a scenario for one conference to answer all the questions, such efforts are useful in keeping the issues alive. Hopefully, the conference will have an impact. The impact on the corporate world will be large.

The 49th IFTDO because of its global nature, has involvement of experts from the US, North African countries, the Arab world, Australia, to name some. The perceived impact at this stage is aspirational. However, it will be a forum to raise several matters of interest. What is important is that it would be an occasion to interact globally and to take back a message.

To sum up, as the pandemic moves to becoming an endemic, it is obvious that the orientation of many management functions like HR will have to change. Design issues will come up and livelihoods will be affected. The facets are many. The temptation at generalization will have to be resisted. It is going to be an ongoing situation. Caution will have to be exercised that a new kind of poverty does not replace the existing deprivation.

Agriculture continues to be a dominating employment generating sector and contributes a significant proportion to the country’s GDP. Even in the unfortunate pandemic, the sector climbed new heights with record production of various food grains, exhibiting resilience and ensuring food security. Despite the success in terms of production that has ensured food security in the country, food inflation and volatility in prices continue to remain high causing inconvenience to consumers and uneven income for farmers. Besides pandemic wrecking substantial physical, social, economic and emotional havoc on all the stakeholders of the Indian agricultural system, locust infestation from East Africa to India, Natural calamities, and depleting natural resources only added to the sector’s woes. Even though the policymakers accelerated a raft of measures and announced reforms to give thrust to the sector, it has reached an inflection point that needs immediate attention. Thus, the forthcoming budget offers an opportunity to fix an array of ancillary problems and fast run the wheels of reforms to accelerate the growth engine of the Indian agriculture sector.

Alignment of Micro-irrigation coverage with ambitious Vision India@2047

While the Government is working on the blueprint for India@2047 to be ‘future ready’, it is important to accelerate India’s growth and adoption towards new-age agriculture practices with optimum utilization of resources. The average penetration of micro-irrigation in the irrigated area (drip & sprinkler) is estimated at 17% which is much lesser compared to countries like Israel (90%), Russia (78%), Spain (75%), the USA (55%) and Brazil (52%). We need to have an ambitious target and align the execution process to take micro-irrigation coverage to 60-70% in the next 25 years.

Identifying areas and crops to integrate the benefit of micro-irrigation with structured governance and execution strategy will help the country climb a newer height of fiscal growth. To do so, the government may create 5 years bucket of appropriate execution and monitoring roadmap for the next 25 years backed by adequate budgetary support consistently.

Process streamlining measures in irrigation subsidy

While the micro-irrigation coverage has benefitted millions of farmers, the scheme implementation leaves a lot to desire at the execution level. The delays in the disbursal of micro-irrigation subsidies under the PMKSY program are hampering its progress. Online portal for an end-to-end process execution and visibility, transparency in the process for fund disbursement, ensuring checkpoints at various stages and adherence to timelines would bring the efficiency in subsidy disbursal and support farmers to be debt-free much conveniently.

Providing infrastructure status to the Micro-irrigation industry

Infrastructure status would help the micro-irrigation manufacturer (95% of which comes under MSME) in reduced operating costs, thereby accelerating the industry growth as well as bring the equipment cost down for the farmer community.

Aligning different schemes together for exponential benefit – Solar and Micro-irrigation, Agriculture alongside Solar installations, and others

Focus on renewable energy like solar would ensure energy security in the agriculture sector as well as in the rural landscape and address environmental concerns. Making farmers energy-sufficient would also reduce the burden on government energy subsidy bills. Solar installation-friendly agriculture would help farmers with reduced operational costs, boost land utilization and improve overall income.

Diversification programs to increase crop productivity

12 percent of the cropped area under Fruits & Vegetables (F&V) leads to 24 percent in value terms, in contrast to 13 percent area under oilseeds which gives only 6 percent in value terms because of lack of scalability. Policymakers may consider promoting domestic oilseeds and oil palm cultivation with higher productivity measures to address the demand cycle. Similarly, disrupting rice cultivation that covers more area and water utilization through drip technology would improve yield, save water and reduce carbon emissions. Drip irrigation adoption also have the potential to facilitates crop diversification thus, making a direct impact on farmer incomes.

Policy & Budget outlay for Integrated Climate Smart Agriculture practices

Climate change has led to reduced crop yields and farm productivity. Besides, the increased occurrence of invasive pests, weather variability, poor agriculture practices has also added to the deteriorating situation of climate change. The agriculture sector is one of the main contributors to the climate problem. It currently generates 19–29% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A shift towards Climate-Smart agriculture practices through proper policy and financial outlay can go a long way in achieving sustainable growth.

Focus on creating infrastructures to support innovation and digitalization in Agriculture

Special focus and fund allocation in the upcoming budget for infrastructure in rural areas would support the digitalization of agriculture and put the sector on the fast track. Currently, India is spending less than 1% of Agri GDP in R&D. An Agri innovation fund, which supports ag-tech solutions, start-ups, and digitalization at different levels of the Agri value chain can transform the agriculture economy in the future.

Interest subsidy on agriculture for long term loans

Access to credit remains one of the critical elements in a sustainable and more importantly a growing ecosystem. Interest subsidy on agriculture for long-term loans to help farmers with continual investment in farm mechanization and building state-of-the-art infrastructure would go a long way to develop a sustainable model in agriculture. Credit Guarantee Fund Scheme for adopting micro-irrigation similar to CGTMSE for MSMEs will be helpful where initial support can be provided by the government.

Special budgetary assistance for Micro Irrigation to State Government to overcome COVID impact

The financial strain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has left many states across the country to slash the budget for micro-irrigation. The policymakers should consider supporting the states through an additional corpus of funds either by direct special assistance program or increasing the existing Micro Irrigation Fund (MIF) set up under NABARD to facilitate the states in mobilizing resources for expanding coverage of micro-irrigation.

Solar power is the cleanest and the most abundantly available energy source in the world today. Countries like China, United States, Japan, and Germany have made rapid strides in solar technology and today are among the largest adopters of solar energy in the world. India is steadily strengthening its presence in this space as well.Among the various renewable energy resources, solar energy potential is the highest in the country. In most parts of India, clear sunny weather is experienced averaging 300 days a year. With annual radiation levels varying from 1600 to 2200 kWh/m2, India has the equivalent energy potential of approximately 6,000 million GWh of energy per year.

Solar energy sector in India has emerged as a significant player in the power sector over the years. In the last 6 years, India’s installed solar energy capacity has increased by over 15 times, and stands at over 41GW as of June 2021, placing India 5^thglobally, in terms of installed solar capacity. During same period, due to a global decline in prices of panels and other equipment since April 2014 India has witnessed a steep decline in Solar tariffs from Rs. 6.47/ kWh in 2013-14 to Rs. 1.99/kWh in December2020.With this, solar is one of the cheapest sources of energy in India and not only makes environmental sense but economic sense as well.

The government of India has over the years been promoting the use of solar energy through various policies and has been allocating funds for the development of this sector.The National Solar Mission was a major initiative of the Government of India to promote ecologically sustainable growth while addressing India’s energy security challenge. The key objective of the Mission to harness India’s abundant sunshine and build a clean energy system that supports its rapid economic growth and consequent rise in energy demand.The Mission targets installing 100 gigawatt (GW)of solar power by the year 2022. In addition, India aims to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 percent from 2005 level and install 450 GW of renewable energy by 2030.

Solar is seen as a viable energy source, not just as an alternative to other renewable sources but also to a significant proportion of conventional grid power. As per the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Karnataka has the largest  mega watt installed solar capacity in India followed by Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh. Even the Northeastern State of Assam is focusing on renewable energy. Amongst all the states in the North East, Assam has the highest potential for renewable energy of 14,487MW, with solar energy taking the largest share.Within the state of Assam, solar energy also has the highest potential with 13,760 MW capacity, followed by biomass with 279 MW, wind energy with 246 MW and small hydro projects with 202 MW capacities.

Although India’s solar market is much suited for local players, it is open for global players too. Both local and international player have made in-roads in the country’s power sector. Azure Power has been among the most active participants in solar power auctions since the beginning of the solar power market in India. With its in-house engineering, procurement and construction expertise and advanced in-house operations and maintenance capability, Azure Power provides low-cost and reliable solar power solutions to customers throughout India.

With today’s advancement in technology, the Government of India is focused on building its manufacturing capability. The Prime Minister of India launched the Make in India initiative in 2014, with the primary goal of making India a global manufacturing hub, by encouraging both multinational as well as domestic companies to manufacture their products within the country. Make in India has introduced multiple new initiatives, promoting foreign direct investment, implementing intellectual property rights, and developing the manufacturing sector. It also seeks to facilitate job creation, foster innovation, enhance skill development and protect intellectual property.

As of 2019, India’s solar sector employed over 77,000 workers – up from 16,000 in fiscal 2016 – and is one of the fastest growing employment generation sectors. The Council on Energy, Environment and Water and the National Research Development Corporation estimate that the combined target of 100 GW solar and 60 GW wind capacity are likely to generate about 1.3 million direct jobs on a Full-Time Equivalent basis, which amounts to a workforce of 330,000 people. Increased adoption of solar energy will improve new job creation opportunities and boost the Make in India mission. Overall, solar energy has the potential to fuel the economy to a new height while also protecting the environment.

Focus On Training Rather Than Results, If You Are Honest To Yourself, The Outcome Will Be Remarkable.

The Business Daily got the opportunity to interact with  Mr. Angkim Kashyap Sarmah, the first and only instructor of KABOSI ( Self-protection System) and Animal Flow from North-East India, Self-Defence Expert, DASTBI MMA, Kyokushin Karate & Fitness and so as Miss Indrani Tapati, the Co-founder and Director of Dastbi MMA, Founder of Versus Championship at Guwahati.

The two have an exceptional inspiring story for the youth to head forward to their struggles and achieve. We are so sure that their story would inspire today’s youth to achieve their dream in spite of many dejection.

How did u get into this field?

Mr. Angkim- “I was into this from the early days of my schooling. From the last 22 years I’m into this.”

Miss Indrani- “For the last 6 years I’m into MMA. The Dastbi MMA started in the year of 2017.”

What were the struggles that you had to face?

Mr. Angkim- “As an athlete here we don’t get the right platform, the right kind of platform, right kind of training or a right kind of guidance to go into the field where we want to go. The parents should understand that every child is different and they can excel in their own field.”

 Who supported you the most?

Miss Indrani- “ I never got any financial help from anyone but as MMA was my dream, I struggle hard to achieve my dream.”

Mr. Angkim- “ I neither got any financial help nor any kind of support from anyone. My dad always wanted me to go for government job or any private job from a reputed company, even when I was working in a bank under my parent’s pressure,it drew me to depression. Since my childhood days I was good at sports so I knew what will suit me the best and hence today I’m here and even though I’m struggling still but I’m fully satisfied and happy.”

Also they said- “We have coaches and mentors, who supported us a lot and today whatever we are, it’s for them. We are and will always be grateful and thankful for their immense support towards us.”

Any challenges that you had to face during the lockdown period?

Mr. Angkim- “(In business)Before the pandemic The Dastbi MMA was slowly taking its pace but after the lockdown started everything went upside down. People are not sending their children here, they are scared.

What inspired you to get into this field?

Miss Indrani- “I always wanted to learn self defence mechanisms but after getting into this field I realized that there are many more things or could say scopes to learn about and moreover there were a very few female fighters back then and as I wanted to represent India so this could be something to achieve my dream and of course to say my coach helped me, motivated me to run towards it.”

Who is your biggest inspiration?

Miss Indrani- “My mother is my greatest inspiration. Even I changed my name from Miss Indrani Chakraborty to Miss Indrani Tapati. She always wanted me to make my own individual identity. She helped me a lot to come into this field so that I not only help myself but also others who are in need.”

Mr. Angkim- “Since my childhood, I never got appreciated for my studies but yes whenever I was into sports people used to appreciate me and that fuelled me up. I feel everybody has their own talents in their respective fields. I knew I was good in sports and therefore today I’m here at this place. I was my own inspiration and I struggled a lot to reach this place. We started from zero and today we have our own academy where we teach many students the real life battle.”

What has MMA taught you?

Mr. Angkim- “MMA helped us in our overall development.”

Miss Indrani- “Martial arts is all about discipline and as MMA is a form of it, we not only learn how to fight but also develop as a person.”

“MMA is in our blood and it has taught us how to survive even in the hardest times of the life and we could survive the pain because of the family that we have got from Dastbi MMA. This is our family.”

What is the best moment in your MMA career so far?

Mr. Angkim- “When you see your students knocking out in 12 seconds or 13 seconds. That’s the best feeling.”

How does the victory feel when your opponent is injured?

Mr. Angkim- “It feels like, yes I have struggled hard and I did it. But once I’m out of the ring, the humanity comes up because it’s not only about fight but also about respect. I need to look after him because it’s all about respect a player keeps for each other. They are also excellent athletes because if they were not then they wouldn’t have come up to the ring but at the end the winner takes it all which doesn’t mean the ego should take over the humanity.”

Being a Martial arts practitioner any message you would like to share for the safety of girls?

Miss Indrani- “ I would like to say to the girls out there that they should not take the self defence as an option rather they should add it as a basic need in their life. The girls need not to be always dependent on the boys everytime. They can also fight for their own choices.”

How far can North East boys reach into the field of martial arts?

Mr. Angkim- “They need good guidance, a good platform, a good training to reach into here. The north-eastern boys specially need such good training as they are the best players known to be around India, just they need a little good guidance and path to follow. So as the Dastbi MMA is sponsoring such good athletes to showcase their talents in the national or international events. In this relevance The Dastbi MMA has also organised Versus Championship for helping the young athletes to showcase their talents.”
