Within four years, JMSA has done a wonderful job, producing around 100 young gymnastic talents for the State, including Ritika, who is now a national level gymnast, honing her skills at the Odisha-AM/NS India Gymnastics High Performance Centre in Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar.
Apart from spotting and nurturing talents, JMSA has so far hosted three two invitational all India competitions, one State championship and three state level inter-school competitions till date. Trainees of the academy have started competing at State championships.
JMSA runs on a pay-and-learn scheme, but finds it tough to make both ends meet. It has three coaches and a couple of support staff, who train around 30 children five days in a week. “We spent around Rs 1 lakh every month to keep the academy going. It is very difficult to break even. But JMSA we will continue to produce young talents against all odds,” said Mira
Meanwhile, JMSA hosted the 3rd Invitational Inter-School Gymnastics Competition on 15 August 2024. A total of 85 boys and girls from different districts vied for laurels in four levels and age groups between six to 12 years.
Sushruta Hospital & Trauma Care Founder CEO Dr Chudatmikaa Khatua graced the closing ceremony as chief guest. Mass Education Assistant Director Kailash Chandra Pradhan, actress Dr Meghna Mishra, Bhubaneswar Gymnastics Association secretary Guruprasad Pattanaik, international gymnast Subhendra Patra and Kalinga Gaurava Foundation founder Dr Rajanikanta Mishra were guests of honour.
