He admitted me to Calcutta Rescue No 10 school. The rest is history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sourav is one of the star students Calcutta Rescue has ever had.

I have won 3 gold, 2 silver, and 3 bronze medals so far at the national level, state level, and district level championships respectively. I was awarded my first beginner degree black belt certificate this year,\u201d he continues, \u201d I want to represent my country in the Commonwealth Games in the field of Karate.
