It was double delight for India's ace marksman Gagan Narang yesterday. His Gagan Narang Sports Promotion Foundation (GNSPF) was awarded the Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Puraskar by President of India, Ram Nath Kovind during the Arjuna Awards ceremony in New Delhi. A few hours before that, Narang's ward, Elavenil Valarivan, 20 bagged a gold medal at the ISSF World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.
Interestingly, in an interview with mid-day on Wednesday, when Narang was asked about the work his foundation had done in creating champions like Valarivan, the London Olympics bronze medal-winning shooter said that he didn't want to talk much about Valarivan since he preferred her "gun to do the talking."
