Dipu Ghosh is an Indian sportsman who represented India in several badminton tournaments in the 1960s. He received the Arjuna award for badminton in 1969, and later became the coach of Indian team in 1980s.

Early Life:

Dipu Ghosh was born in Munger on 17th June ,1940

Though his formal name is Rupen Kumar Ghosh, he became famous in the field of Badminton as

Dipu Ghosh.

Dipu was inspired to take to Badminton by his father Sri Sushil Krishna Ghosh who was as keen

about his son’s sports and games as he was with his studies. In school

he seldom stood second, so when young Dipu would try to give the logic that his

studies are more important than sports, Mr Ghosh senior would tell his son that a bird needs two

wings to fly and a simultaneous practice of sports and education is extremely important for

building a strong character. It was from his father that he learnt to economize on time, so that he

could excel in both.

It is important to mention that Dipu did not get any formal coaching as such before he stepped

into the field of state level badminton. So keen was his father to encourage young Dipu and his

siblings that he actually moved to Chandannagar from Kolkata so that he could afford a home

with enough outdoor space, where they could have their own Badminton court, to practice every

evening.

It is strange how this family badminton which started in his early teens, actually pushed the

Ghosh brothers ,Dipu and Romen to the national level to rule the doubles court for quite some

number of years between 1964 to 1970’

Though there was no formal coaching, stalwarts of that era like Manoj Guha who actually took

Bengal to the world Badminton arena graced the family court and gave guid ance to young Dipu

and his siblings.
