While the intent is fantastic, I hope the program includes children from all socioeconomic backgrounds equally. The article mentions both private and government schools, which is a good sign. Sustainability is key.

Over 10,000 children engaged is a solid number! Building that connection beyond Ahmedabad is smart. Grassroots development is how you build a true sporting culture. Well done GT!
