If that happens it will be really great," Kaushik said.The national sports awards were conferred upon athletes and coaches on Saturday.

I can't explain the feeling. Last night, I hugged my certificate and slept with it," he laughed."Army Sports Institute has also been conferred with the Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puraskar 2020. It is the first time ASI has received this award. This doubled the joy," he added.For rehabilitation, Manish went to the ASI centre in Pune last month.
