R. E. Grant Govan
Raymond Eustace Grant Govan, CBE〔Page 30〕 (known more often as R.E. Grant Govan and also as REG Govan, born December 1891, Croydon district - died January 26, 1940 in Hardwar, United Provinces) 〔 National Probate Calendar, accessed through ancestry.com 〕was a Delhi based British industrialist〔Page 31〕 and the first President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
He was the Managing Director of Govan Bros. Ltd., a leading business house of the time.〔Page 22〕 The company was managing agents for a number of industrial enterprises. Grant Govan was a keen pilot〔Page 61〕 and the founder of Indian National Airways Ltd, an aviation company formed in 1933 under Govan Bros Ltd. 〔Page 105〕〔Page 458〕 Apart from the airline, Govan Bros operated ''Delhi Flour Mills'', set up ''Sugar Mills-Raza Buland'' at Rampura, and had a travel department, Govan Agencies (which was sold in 1947).〔Page 175〕 Apart from the airline, Govan had other interests in aviation, like the ''Delhi Flying Club'' which he founded in 1928.〔
R.E. Grant Govan was an avid sports enthusiast.〔Page 92〕 He founded the ''Roshanara Cricket Club'' in Delhi, named after the nearby tomb of Roshanara Begum, with a group of friends in 1922. The club was officially inaugurated by Marquess of Reading in December 1922.〔Page 821〕 Govan had the distinction of being both the founding President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 1928, a position he held till 1933 and the Cricket Club of India (CCI) in 1933. 〔〔Page 44〕 He, along with then BCCI secretary Anthony De Mello, was instrumental in getting the BCCI affiliated to the ''Imperial Cricket Conference'' (now International Cricket Council) in 1928.〔Page 103〕
In 1931 BCCI with Govan at its helm invited the Marylebone Cricket Club to tour India for the first time, with the support of Lord Irwin, the then Viceroy of India.〔Page 4〕 When he died in 1940, Dr. P. Subbaroyan, then President of the (BCCI), issued a statement which read "In the death of Mr. Grant Govan, Indian Cricket has lost a friend ...". 〔Page 196 〕 After his death, a few of his friends set up the ''Grant Govan Memorial Homes'' in Delhi. These are meant to be retirement homes for Anglo-Indians with limited means and were inaugurated by Marchioness of Linlithgow, wife of the then ''Viceroy of India'' in October 1940.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ibgindia.com/oldage_homes.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?261313 )
