Mittal Champions Trust

The Mittal Champions Trust, which funded several of the country's top athletes, has shut shop recently, resulting in a setback to Indian sportspersons, who are preparing to take part in the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games later this year.

With players from the Mittal Champions Trust bagging 12 medals including five Gold in the Commonwealth Games so far, billionaire India-born businessman Lakshmi Mittal said the goal is to "prepare" and "nurture" many more such sports persons for London Olympics.

Fifteen-year-old badminton player Saina Nehwal has been signed up by the Mittal Champions Trust, the sports trust started by steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal.
