“Coming back to Assam is something I’ve always felt deep in my heart. I may have travelled the world, competed on the biggest stages, but Assam is where my journey began. I’ve been blessed to be the only Olympian from Assam in badminton till date, and I wear that title with pride.
Being called a legend is an honour, but it’s also a reminder of the responsibility I carry. It’s not enough to rest on past achievements; now it’s time to give back, to rise above the challenges and uncertainties that linger over our sports ecosystem and build a brighter future. That’s why I’m here—to nurture minds and inspire champions. This isn’t just a tagline for the MES-DBA; it’s my motto and my life’s purpose.” Says Dipankar Bhattacharjee OLY
