Sachin Tendulkar Visits Dantewada To Support Grassroots Sports
Mann Deshi Foundation: Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar visited Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada district on Wednesday to support a grassroots sports programme aimed at turning the area, once affected by Maoist violence, into a lively sports hub. He expressed happiness about the development of playgrounds under the Maidan Cup programme.
After landing at Jagdalpur airport, Tendulkar travelled to Chhindwar village. There, he participated in an event linked to the Maidan Cup initiative, which promotes sports among local children. “I am very happy that we have created around 50 school playgrounds through the Maidan Cup initiative,” Tendulkar told reporters at Jagdalpur airport.
The initiative is backed by the Mann Deshi Foundation, the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation, and the local administration. It is already making a significant impact. A Maidan Cup competition currently happening in Dantewada is serving more than 5,000 children by giving them structured access to sports in a region once affected by conflict.
