First I learned Mr. Ravi Sahu during the Global Conference for Traditional Sports & Games in January 2013 in Amravati and noticed him as a very professional coordinator and organizer and emotional service provider. During my next visit in Amravati in September 2013 I got to know him as a specialist for Sports Management with a deep knowledge of wide-ranging and causal relations. Ravi Sahu is a very pleasant and communicative person for purposive liaison. Germany, July 20th, 2014
