Bhubaneswar, Dec. 7 -- Eastern India's first-of-its-kind sports science and sports promotion firm, founded by Sarthak Patnaik and Soumya Patnaik, host two major national events, the SSI Sports National Awards, followed by the Sports Science Conclave on December 6 and 7 at Bhubaneswar.

According to Dr Sarthak Patnaik, founder of Sports Science India (SSI), the event aims to motivate and increase participation among new athletes, veterans and current players.

Patnaik said that many legends associated with different sports have passed away, but there are no awards named after them. He stressed that the SSI National Sports Award filled that gap by promoting awards named after legends such as Milkha Singh, Shakti Singh and Dilip Tirkey.
