Wrestling, known as kushti in India, holds a significant place in the country’s culture and has been cherished as a beloved sport for thousands of years.

The WPWH’s new venture aims to address these challenges and offer unwavering support to athletes and their families in their pursuit of excellence.
To spearhead this transformative initiative, the WPWH has appointed the esteemed Sh. Sangram Singh is the brand ambassador for their new wrestling venture. Sangram Singh is an eminent figure in the wrestling community, known for his exceptional attitude, passion, expertise, and extensive experience in the sport. With Sangram Singh’s unparalleled dedication and profound knowledge, the venture is set to scale new heights and create a lasting impact on the wrestling landscape.
Through this ambitious venture, WPWH aspires to provide wrestlers with invaluable opportunities to learn from top-notch international players and coaches. By offering a global platform, the venture aims to nurture the talent of aspiring athletes and empower them to achieve laurels on national and international stages.
Expressing his enthusiasm about this new venture, Sangram Singh stated, “I am deeply honoured to be appointed as the brand ambassador for WPWH’s wrestling venture. Wrestling has been my life’s passion, and I firmly believe that every young athlete deserves a chance to pursue their dreams. With this initiative, we not only aim to promote wrestling but also encourage fitness and well-being among our nation’s people and the world at large. Together, we can create a happier and healthier global community.”
WPWH’s vision for the future encompasses the global dissemination of wrestling, along with promoting physical fitness and overall well-being. By providing substantial support to thousands of athletes and their families, the venture aims to bring about positive transformations in the lives of aspiring wrestlers and youth involved in sports.
As WPWH embarks on this exhilarating journey, they extend an open invitation to wrestling enthusiasts, supporters of the sport, and the broader community to join hands and create a thriving ecosystem for wrestlers and athletes worldwide.
NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
