Concentration, strategy, and mental well-being through India’s beloved indoor game — 30 boards, batch-wise training.
A 2-year sports & skill-development programme training 348 children aged 12–18 across 6 sports in Perumbakkam, Chennai — a resettlement neighbourhood where structured play, mentorship, and safe ground are still rare.
Perumbakkam is a resettlement neighbourhood in south Chennai, home to over 1,752 children from domestic-worker and informal-sector families. Open ground is scarce. Structured sport is scarcer. Rising screen-time and exposure to substance misuse are eroding focus, school attendance, and confidence in a generation that has the talent — but not the runway.
Sport is one of the lowest-cost, highest-impact interventions for this. Done well, it builds discipline, teamwork, and self-respect — and it does so in plain sight of the whole community.
Certified coaches. Branded kits. Morning and evening one-hour sessions, six days a week. 60 training hours every month, with equal participation of boys and girls and priority to children of domestic workers and CRM students. Training venue: the ground near PHC, Perumbakkam.
Every batch progresses from skill-building to inter-community matches to zonal and district tournaments — so that confidence is built not only on the field, but in the recognition that follows it.
Concentration, strategy, and mental well-being through India’s beloved indoor game — 30 boards, batch-wise training.
Analytical thinking, patience, and decision-making — one move at a time. 30 boards, paired training across two batches.
Fitness, teamwork, and heritage in one of India’s most distinctive contact team sports — with nutrition support included.
Discipline, self-defence, and the quiet confidence that comes with mastery — belt progression tracked across the two years.
Tamil martial-arts heritage — agility, balance, and cultural pride taught by certified state-level instructors.
Team play, coordination, and leadership on the court — with regular inter-community matches and tournament exposure.
Daily practice rewires focus. Students who train regularly show better classroom attention, fewer behavioural flags, and improved homework completion.
Structured evenings on the field crowd out idle screen hours and reduce exposure to substance misuse — the two biggest behavioural risks in resettlement areas.
Girls and boys train in equal numbers across every single sport — including Kabaddi and Karate. Visibility of girls on the field shifts what the community considers possible.
From inter-community matches to zonal and district-level competitions — students earn recognition, build resilience, and meet peers from beyond their neighbourhood.
Equipment stays with the community. Alumni return as junior mentors. By Year 3 — even without us — the next batch finds a playground already warm.
Improved stamina, motor skills, and emotional regulation — the foundation for everything from school attendance to employability later in life.
