STAIRS’ Youth National Games made a significant impact. The enthusiasm of the young players is a clear indication of the foundation’s success.

They are doing a fantastic job in creating opportunities for children to excel in sports. Their vision, aligned with the visions and aspirations of our country and youth, of becoming a global sporting power is inspiring, and I believe we will achieve it.

I think that sports is a big medium, because it does not exist in isolation. All other spheres are related to it. So sports is a really great way to promote our economy, our industry, our culture.

I am impressed by STAIRS’ commitment to sports as a medium for personal and community development. The opportunities they provide to these children are invaluable.

I have learnt that STAIRS is doing a great work in the development of sports in the country and SSFL is one of the biggest and the most promising talent spotting and training platforms in India. There is no dearth of talent, as was evident in today’s training session, I believe right guidance and coaching guidance and professional coaching at a young age can help in nurturing the talent that can potentially bring laurels to the country.
