After the inception, JIGPA found the hidden talents amongst the youngsters, prepared them, and a badminton tournament was held at 1992. With immense zeal, the players from North Bengal, Assam and Nepal, belonging to national and international level, participated and inspired the freshers. The tournament helped JIGPA to gain help, from moneary to other various aspects. A badminton coaching centre was built, following the application for affiliation at state level. Renowned players and coaches like Manoj Guha, Baidyanath Das and Anita Bhattacharya regularly trained the players of the institution, which was named as Jalpaiguri Indoor Badminton Players’ Association or JIBPA by that time.
At 1995, North Bengal possibly saw the biggest sports arrangement, when JIBPA was given the responsibility to organise the 59th State Badminton Senior Championship. Inaugurated by the Governor of that time, K V Raghunath Reddy, the tournament was a huge succes that drew the attention of Mr. Siddhartha, the District Magistrate of Jalpaiguri of that time. Jalpaiguri was honoured as a suitable organiser and given 50 thousand rupees in the development of Women’s Sports Association.
A tournament was arranged among the boys and girls of various ages in the year of 1998, to find out suitable candidates for district and state level championships. It was a fruitful step indeed, and we got players like Surupa Roy, Sunanda Pal, Bhaskar Mukherjee, Rooptapas Dev, Shekhar ghosh and so on.
During 1999, the institute had to leave the gymnasium hall of AC College. During that period, JIBPA faced lots of troubles and struggles. But with the help of Dr. Subrata Gupta (D. M.), Dr. R I Singh (D. L. R. O), Mr. Vinod Kumar (A. D. M.) and Deboprasad Roy (for,er MP), JIBPA received Govt. Aid for building the institute on a piece of land in Shilpasamiti Para.
Finally the institute started to be built at 2000 and in 15th April of 2003, it celebrated its foundation day, followed by inaugurating the table tennis coaching centre in the first floor during 2004. Well-known table tennis players like Bharati Ghosh, Mantu Ghosh visited JIBP, which, by then, was renamed as JIGPA. Organising East Regional Inter State Badminton Tournament, multi-gym for men and women and many other facilities and infrastructure brought prosperity and success to JIGPA, especially in badminton. Players like SauravJoshi, Akash Paswan, Babu Roy, Medha Joshi, Sampriti Pal, Parthiba Chakraborty and many such names have been prepared here. These are some of the names which have been passing the inspiration and enthusiasm to upcoming generations in JIGPA.
