betterment of society, such Polio Eradication and his critical work as
the UN Ambassador for the Girl Child to rid the country of the malaise
of discrimination against women.

the upcoming Commonwealth, World Championship, and Asian Games in 2014!
The superstar has sponsored women athletes Ayonika

started by Indian sporting icons to identify and support Indian
athletes with a proven track record and who have the potential to
win Olympic gold medals.
These athletes will be participating in the upcoming
Commonwealth, World Championship, and Asian Games in 2014, the main goal
being to help them win at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The funds will help
