Second Leg Of NDTV-AM Green-IGPL Golf Pro-Am Wraps Up In Hyderabad On A High

The second leg of the NDTV-AM Green-IGPL Pro-Am concluded in Hyderabad on a high. The glittering ceremony had Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka as the chief guest. Gaganjeet Bhullar, the winner of the Krishna Invitational Hyderabad presented by Punjab Raptors, got onto the stage and received the trophy from the Telangana Deputy Chief Minister. "Thank you very much. It was a great pleasure coming back to Hyderabad after a gap of 12 years. I really enjoyed the golf course. The conditions were so good. Special thanks to AM Green. We started the journey of IGPL last year, and to see where we have reached in less than 24 months is truly special," Bhullar said.

"Special thanks to my team members. We guys won for the first time this year. Hopefully, this is not the last," he signed off.

NDTV CEO and Editor-in-Chief Rahul Kanwal said, "I was told that the Deputy Chief Minister was about six hours away from the Hyderabad golf course. He made a special effort to come all the way here."

A huge round of applause followed after Mr Rahul Kanwal highligted the kind gesture made by the minister.

Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka then got onto the stage and said, "A very good evening to all of you. It is indeed a privilege for all of us to spend time with international players, particularly in golf. As you all are aware, our Chief Minister Anumula Revanth Reddy is always fond of sports. Our Chief Minister invited Messi to Telangana and played football with him, and also announced that he is going to have a world-class football stadium in Hyderabad.

"This government is very particular about encouraging sports. Even this golf course is a joint-venture project involving the state government's tourism initiative. Very recently, our Chief Minister reviewed sports and other activities taking place in Telangana and finally took a call saying that a small country like Korea, where one university is getting 100 medals, has set an example for others.

The celebrations continue as the 2nd leg of the NDTV-AM Green-IGPL Pro-Am wraps up in Hyderabad, bringing together golf, sport and entertainment for a memorable finish to the tournament. #NDTVAMGreenIGPLGolfProAm https://t.co/9i9DefFzsV

"So he took up the challenge and sent our people to study what kind of facilities the Korean government is providing to sportspeople. Finally, he himself went there with sports authorities. He made all our people visit the place and sign an MOU with that university to train our students in sporting activities. This is our commitment towards sports."

The Telgana Deputy Chief Minister further said, "I congratulate the players who have won medals in this event. For me, it takes around five hours to travel here. Keeping the importance of the activity in mind, I cancelled some of my plans and travelled all the way to attend this event.

"I wish all the best to the players, and I would like to thank the NDTV team for extending their invitation to take part in this programme."
