One of India's top medal prospect at next year's Olympics, World No. 1 shuttler Saina Nehwal today said the Sports Ministry's TOP scheme has been of immense help in her preparation for the Rio Games.
"My sincere appreciation @YASMinistry @Media_SAI @BAIMedia1 for the support over the years. Would not have been here without the support," Saina wrote on her twitter page.
"Thank you @YASMinistry @Media_SAI @BAIMedia1 for training support under TOP Scheme. #Let'sMakeIndiaProud #Road2Rio."
The 25-year-old, who won the bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, hoped the TOP scheme will help other athletes as well.
