It is said that he had been sick for a while and was in his early 70s. Sports stars, school officials, and government leaders from all over the country have sent their sorrow over his death.
Behind the scenes, Srinivasan played a big but quiet part in Indian sports. He was known for always supporting PT Usha’s physical career and projects after retirement.
A Supporting Rope in PT Usha’s Career
V Srinivasan married PT Usha in 1986, and they stayed together throughout her work and later life. Usha became one of India’s most famous athletes, but Srinivasan chose to stay out of the spotlight and focus on helping people in his personal and business life.
People close to the family have often said that he was very helpful in making plans, handling details, and making decisions during important times in Usha’s work. The legendary athlete could focus on training, competing, and later coaching up-and-coming athletes because he was always there.
How to Help Develop Sports at the Local Level
Srinivasan was more than just PT Usha’s husband; he was also interested in running and improving sports. He was very important in running the Usha School of Athletics in Kerala, which has taught many state and foreign champions over the years.
He helped run the school on a daily basis, keeping an eye on things and backing training programs that brought in and developed young talent from all over the country. People in teaching and sports management respected him for what he did for local sports.

As soon as people heard about his death, they sent condolences from current and past players, teachers, and leaders. Many people recognized what he did for Indian sports, especially athletics, and talked about how he helped build up sports facilities at the local level.
A number of athletes said that Srinivasan was a cool and focused person who valued long-term growth over short-term success. Political leaders and sports groups sent sympathy messages because they knew he was close to one of India’s best sportsmen.
PT Usha’s Family Loss and Public Life
As of now, PT Usha is a Member of Parliament and the President of the Indian Olympic Association. He has also kept busy in politics and running sports organizations. The death of Srinivasan is a big loss for her personally at a time when she has important roles to play in Indian sports.
People who know the family say that the couple had a strong relationship based on mutual respect and a love for Indian sports. PT Usha and their son are the ones left behind by Srinivasan.
