Written by Mohan Sharma

A day after his post created a massive confusion on social media, former India captain and current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has finally cleared the air himself. On Monday, he announced the launch of a platform, created solely to help the coaches and educators across various disciplines.

Ganguly took to his social media accounts and shared a letter, stating about the initiative with all the educators, teachers, and coaches and helping them grow in their respective fields.

The BCCI President also shared a video in which he could be seen speaking about the benefits availed from the mobile application ‘Classplus’.

“I have been getting a lot of questions about my previous post. For a while, I have been thinking about one group of people that has been helping our society selflessly and making India greater every day.IPL gave us amazing players but what inspires me, even more, is the amount of sweat and blood the coaches of all these players put in for their success. This is not just true for Cricket, but all the other fields like Academics, Football, Music, etc as well. I am fortunate to get all the coaches who made me what I am today,” he wrote.For ages, we have been glorifying actors, players, and successful CEOs for the remarkable work they have done. It is time that we glorify the true heroes, their COACHES and EDUCATORS.I want to do something for all the coaches, educators, and teachers across the world. Starting today will actively work to support all of them by being their ambassador.I am thankful to Classplus for helping me with my vision. I hope this new initiative helps them all” he wrote.
