Sentence 98

Before
Led by Gopichand himself, Ramesh Nagapuri Dronacharya awardee, senior coach from the Sports Authority of India (SAI), takes care of the daily operations.

After
Led by Gopichand,  Ramesh Nagapuri, a Dronacharya awardee and senior coach from the Sports Authority of India (SAI), takes care of the daily operations.

Comments
himself is unnecessary
Ramesh Nagapuri is a Dronacharya awardee so the comma is necessary
The indefinite article 'a' is required before 'Dronacharya awardee'
The after sentence means that Ramesh Nagapuri is a Dronacharya awardee as well as a senior coach from SAI.

 The question/comment to the writer was 'How many people are you talking about?  Please check if this is what you mean.'

Sentence 1

Before: Our children are our future, is an often quoted statement, which ideally refers to the fact that it is our children who have the power to initiate growth, progress and change in the times to come. After: Our children are our future. This is an oft-quoted statement, which re-iterates that it is our children who have the power to initiate growth, progress and change in times to come.  Notes a. Never place a comma before a verb. ‘Is’ - is a verb.  b. 'often quoted’ is usually written as 'oft-quoted’ c. Don’t use ‘ideally’ unnecessarily. d. 'the times to come.’  to be changed to ‘times to come’. ‘The’ is a definite article. Please read up on the use of definite articles here:  https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/540/01/ e.
