2008 Olympic Gold Medalist Abhinav Bindra resigns from Target Olympic Podium Scheme.

The ace shooter took to Twitter to announce his resignation from the TOP scheme. In his Tweet, Bindra mentioned his reason for resignation being his busy schedule for  2016 Rio Olympics preparation, because of which he wouldn't be able to make a meaningful contribution to the TOP scheme.

 

Due to paucity of time(the Olympic Games are 10 months away)I will not be able to make a meaningful contribution as a member to the TOPs 1/3
