Our Balbhavan’s 13th ‘Winter Sports Competition 2024’ began in a grand manner on 28 December 2024 on the sports grounds of Pemraj Sarda College with the lighting of a torch in front of chief guests from the college and Universe. Based on the concept of ‘Future Champions’, the competition aimed to develop the sports capabilities of children living in slums to create potential ‘gems’ and they shone as brightly as the torch. By unleashing the latent skills of children from underprivileged areas we aim to show them the path to a brighter future.
A total of 356 athletes participated in the two-day competition which included 60m race and 50m relay for smaller children and 100m race and 100m relay for the older children, as well as an open marathon. On the second day children performed strongly in Indian favourites, Kabaddi and Kho-Kho.
The competition built confidence and gave children scope to develop their playground skills and emphasised the importance of teamwork and a sense of competition with prizes for all the winners. There was a lot of fun and laughter. All of our sports stars demonstrated determination, perseverance and team spirit through the full sports program. We are committed to initiatives like this to encourage children to focus on extracurricular activities which complement our slum school education classes.
