New Delhi, April 12th, 2023. Baazi Sports Foundation in association with PokerBaazi, collaborated with Edspectrum Foundation to provide a level playing field to children from weaker sections of society to explore, experience and gain exposure to multifarious sports. In line with the government’s vision of ‘Khelo India’ for the youth, Baazi Sports Foundation intends to support 20 children through a fellowship program that entails bearing any monetary support for their journey of sports training.
Many research findings show that sports training from an early age can result in higher cognitive functioning, which leads to a consequential improvement in academic performance as well. Sports engagement also fosters leadership, teamwork and sportsmanship and provides opportunities for personal growth and development.
Sharing his views on the initiative to foster better health amongst young children, Navkiran Singh, Founder and CEO at Baazi Games, said, “Sports act as a powerful tool to provide lifelong learning amongst children making them realize the importance of leadership, teamwork, and competitive spirit. Sports continues to be the language children connect with the most thereby positively influencing their thinking and outlook toward various hurdles in their lives. Baazi Games is proud to provide these children with an equal opportunity to enhance their passion towards a sport of their choice and aspire for glory in life.”
Understanding the need for the current generation’s needs, he added, “While social media continues to influence the building blocks of growth for children, it is important to guide, educate and share the positives of sport to ensure a holistic development.”
Baazi Sports Foundation has pledged to support more than 300 children from the age group of 8-15 years to pursue different sports and realize the importance of engaging in sports in their learning and developmental journey.
