According to a report by The Hindu, Govindaraj and Sharma discussed several new schemes to help push forward basketball in India, which had been stagnating under their help over the past few years. These include the launch of a six-team women's league and plans to restructure the national championship.
"We intend to have a zone-wise competition before the final round," said Govindaraj. "We will have more matches, which will give us a chance to look at more talent."
