The Hidden Cost of Indian Sports India has immense athletic potential hidden in its villages and small towns. However, modern sports require professional coaching, dietary regimes, registration fees, and equipment. A professional 10m Air Pistol, for example, can cost more than many rural families earn in a year.
During my journey, I saw dozens of talented shooters and athletes quit simply because they could not afford bullets, shoes, or train tickets to national trials.
The Launch of SGADF To bridge this gap, I founded the **School Games and Activity Development Foundation (SGADF)**. Our mission is simple: *No talent should go waste due to financial constraints.*
SGADF focuses on:
- Equipment Bank: Donating shooting kits, sports shoes, and cricket gear to high-potential underprivileged athletes.
- Sponsorship Drives: Funding travel, accommodation, and entry fees for national championships.
- Grassroots Camps: Hosting sports clinics in rural schools to discover and screen raw talent.
