A young boy from Vellore Tamil Nadu sets on an extraordinary journey at the tender age of 13. He has great dreams in his eyes and the support of his humble family. Sathish Sivalingam
He outshines his opponents and proves his mettle by winning the gold medal at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014. With this achievement, he captures the attention of the entire country.
He is none other than the soft-spoken weightlifting champion, Sathish Sivalingam!
After winning top honors at two consecutive CWGs, Sathish has set his eyes on the Asian Games 2018. After seeing his record, it is obvious that he prefers only gold! We are very confident that he will make India proud by bringing the gold at the Asiads as well.

Sathish first grabbed the attention of media at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014. He continued his medal-winning streak at the Commonwealth Championships as well as at the recent Gold Coast Games. The journey hasn’t really been all that smooth for this humble lad from Tamil Nadu, but it has just begun. With his sight firmly set on the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and numerous gold medals in his kitty, Sathish is sure to give his best performance at the Asiads.

We take a sneak peek into the life for this weightlifting champion and try to understand the factors that shaped him into one.

Sathish was born in a humble family from Sathauvachari village near Vellore in Tamil Nadu. His parents Sivalingam and Deivanai encouraged him to pursue weightlifting and are his biggest supporters.

In fact, his father was a national-level weightlifting champion and has won gold at several competitions. He worked in the Indian Army but later joined Vellore Institute of Technology as a security officer to make ends meet.

He started training Sathish at the age of thirteen. Sivalingam missed out on international recognition, but his son fulfilled his dream for him.

His mother, Deivanai has always been extremely proud of her son. In an interview with the Indian Express, she said,

“He Always Returns With A Medal. Most Of Them Were Gold Medals. Before Each Competition, My Husband Advises Our Son What To Do.”




Our civilization, culture and natural living which find appreciation world over, keep losing their values because of the influence of western culture. Gandhi World Foundation will act as an instrument for a great global transformation by achieving the purpose of its formation by identifying the elements, which Gandhiji, had he been alive now, would have tried to alter. Gandhi World Foundation will bring about this transformation by making suitable changes in these elements in conformity with the present global trend, but, at the same time, not compromising on Gandhiyan principles and incorporating simplicity and innovativeness in them.

Gandhi World Foundation seeks your kind support and valuable suggestions in this regard.

Yours Lovingly,
