As the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games approach, the Mission Olympic Cell (MOC) has granted Neeraj Chopra, a two-time Olympic medallist, a 47-day off-season training camp in Switzerland. This decision was made during the MOC's 173rd meeting held on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old athlete from Haryana will be joined by his physiotherapist, Ishaan Marwaha, and coach Jai Choudhary. The approved proposal includes coverage for travel, accommodation, and other expenses for the three-member team, such as airfare, hotel costs, meals, visa fees, extra baggage for javelins, medical insurance, and a daily allowance of USD 25 for 47 days.
