Billu’s journey to skating began at the age of five when on his fifth birthday, he was gifted a pair of skates by his grandmother which acted as tremedous morale booster for him. Then somebody suggested him about Sector 10 skating rink and it was where Mr Inderpal Singh, another known name in skating, moulded Billu to a national level player. He later matured into a superb skater. Now skating is in his blood. He has transformed this region into a roller hockey hub of the country. He is also the recipient of Haryana Governor award in 1999 for his magnificent contribution in promoting roller hockey in Haryana. The state has a skating rink at almost every district headquarters. He was instrumental in developing many skating rinks in the city. These are located in various schools such as KB DAV Sector 7, Bhavan Vidyalya, Blue Bird School, Hansraj Public School, Stepping Stones and DLF (Gaziabad).
