Inadequate Infrastructure

Across India, many underprivileged communities lack proper sports infrastructure. According to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, only about 5-10% of children have access to organized sports facility. Additionally, a survey by the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) found that nearly 60% of government schools in rural areas lack playgrounds.

Limited Exposure and Opportunities

Underprivileged youth often face limited exposure to competitive sports events and tournaments due to their socio-economic background. According to a report by the Sports Authority of India (SAI), only 15% of India's districts have competitive sports programs. This lack of exposure restricts their opportunities for skill development and recognition at a national or international level.

Social Stigma and Gender Bias

UNICEF reports significant barriers for girls in India to participate in sports due to cultural norms and safety concerns. This stigma can discourage both boys and girls from underprivileged backgrounds from pursuing their passion for sports.

Financial Barriers

Financial constraints pose significant challenges for underprivileged youth aspiring to excel in sports. Studies suggest that over 70% of children in India cannot afford to pay for organized sports training or coaching, as reported by ASSOCHAM. This lack of financial support often hampers their ability to access quality coaching, nutrition, and equipment essential for training.

Lack of Nutrition and Healthcare

In the heart of India's sports scene lies a void fueled by deprivation—where underprivileged children, girls, differently-abled athletes, and tribal communities yearn for equitable opportunities beyond mere victory. Hindered by inadequate nutrition and healthcare, their dreams are often dashed by preventable injuries and unmet needs.
