Sports as a Catalyst for Change
Inspiring Youths Through Sports Development and Skill Enhancement Initiatives

Jindal Foundation is committed to fostering athletic potential, boosting ethnic sports, and inspiring local youth to adopt a growth-oriented mindset. By enhancing fitness levels, skill sets, and providing necessary inputs like nutrition and coaching, the Foundation empowers individuals to excel from district to international platforms. An integral part of the Foundation's mission includes maintaining stadiums and playgrounds in remote locations, nurturing rural and tribal talent, and promoting inclusivity in sports.

Despite the abundance of talent in rural and tribal areas, there is a significant gap in resources, training, and infrastructure to support and promote these young athletes. This limits their opportunities to participate and excel in sports at a national and international level. Addressing this gap is vital to fostering an environment where sports can thrive as a catalyst for personal and community growth.
