Assam’s first Olympic bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain has been named the brand ambassador for Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) of Assam, informed State Education Minister Ranoj Pegu on Sunday.
“We are delighted that Lovlina has accepted our request to be associated with the SSA as its brand ambassador,” Pegu said.
Assam’s Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, MD Roshni Korati said that Lovlina Borgohain was approached to be the brand ambassador for SSA in the state, to which she readily agreed. “Her role as the brand ambassador is on a completely honorary basis at her insistence. It is a very good gesture on her part,” Korati said.
It is to be mentioned that the 23-year-boxer hailing from Golaghat district had scripted history at the Tokyo Games by becoming the first Assamese to win a medal in the Olympics when she had clinched the bronze medal in the women’s welterweight (64-69kg) category.
Korati further said a video has been shot by SSA, Assam, exclusively with the boxer, a 40-second promo of which was shared by the MD on her Twitter handle on Sunday.
