Villages are known and cherished for nurturing a sense of closeness and mutual interactions. However, as digital tools become increasingly invasive in people’s lives, outdoor sports are losing importance. This shift not only impacts psychological and physical health but also weakens the foundation for building strong community bonds through shared moments of joy and playfulness.
Sports have the power to bring people together, fostering celebration, unity, and a collective spirit. A little joy and playfulness in life always go a long way.
Through Maitreyi – The Spirit of Sports, IRD is committed to revitalizing the culture of sports in rural communities by ensuring access to essential resources and opportunities.
