This is an earnest request to all of you to support us in convincing WBRA committee to send a team for the Open Nationals to be held at Pune, 2018 from the 17th to 22nd December.
For those who don't know, for Bengal to qualify for National Games (to be held in Goa, 2019) it is important to at least place in the top 8 in the Open Nationals. *THE EVENTS IN THE NATIONAL GAMES ARE 500M AND 1000M. EVERYBODY HAS A CHANCE OF WINNING A _NATIONAL GAME MEDAL_.* However if a team is not sent for Open Nationals, none of us will have a change to participate in National Games which is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Bengal has 4 rowing clubs with a 200+ rowers, investing a lot of money into rowing equipment and facilities every year. However it will be a shame if the rowers of Bengal are denied the chance to even compete at national events and fall victim to dirty politics. This petition is to urge the committee to let rowers explore their potential and at least get the opportunity to fight for medals.
The defending gold medalists (Aishwarya Krishnan and Shreya R Iyer) are also being denied the chance to even give trials in their event.As prospective medal winners, a medal at these Senior Nationals can help all rowers of Bengal as well by putting the state in the top 8, and only the top 8 states can go for National Games. Thus by denying them the chance, they are squashing all hopes for Bengal.
OUR PLEDGE-
SEND A BENGAL TEAM FOR THE SENIOR NATIONALS AND NATIONAL GAMES.

The committee has yet to provide a formal response regarding the selection process for the Open Nationals. I am currently coordinating with fellow rowers to ensure our concerns reach the relevant authorities through direct correspondence. Your continued interest keeps this issue visible while we push for transparency.

I used to be a regular rower at the "lakes", and it is a very demanding sport.I seriously feel that we must send a team and give opportunities to the young generation.
Please don't destroy the dreams of those who aspire to represent their state and are ready to challenge their potential!
A lot of time and energy has been spent by the candidates and it is only fair that they be given a chance to represent their state. Put your politics aside and allow them to participate.
This is a such a blantantly ignorant move by a state body that governs and are in charge of over 200 motivated, enthusiastic oarspeople , who would be most affected by this blunder.
Who benefits if athletes who have trained and can be competitive enough to win medals are not allowed to compete? This is outrageous.
In full support for Shreya
We should act now

Shreya is a an athelere with tremendous potential and is bound to bring great accolades to the state. That she is being denied this opportunity is a shame.
