== Biography ==<br />
Dalip Singh was from a family of farmers in [[Haryana]]. He was an Indian Army sports instructor. In the mid-sixties, he was deputed to [[Agartala]] to scout for gymnastics talent. He had been trained by Russian gymnast at [[Patiala]]'s [[National Institute of Sports]] (now Netaji Subhash National Institute of Sports) run by [[Sports Authority of India]]. During his visit to Agartala, he married a Manipuri doctor, Sushila Devi, in 1969 and stayed on in [[Tripura]], having decided to work towards turning the state into the gymnastics field.
