Sports Development Program steers children towards a better life with better awareness, better life skills and better opportunities, in the journey from childhood to livelihood. 20 out of 65 of our schools are enrolled in this program as a pilot initiative. We kicked off this program last year June with a five day long training on the program structure, implementation, content and pedagogy. Post this initial training, we distributed the Sports Development Program kits in all 20 of our schools. These kits included the essential sports and other equipment required to conduct the program in an effective manner. Post distributing these kits, we also distributed the Magic Bus manual to each of our 20 Balshikshaks. In October, we had a 2 day refresher training on using the manual effectively and how to plan for Magic Bus better. Another training is scheduled for July this year. On talking to the Balshikshaks, we have found that they are as excited as the children to have this program in their schools. They reported that it makes children more excited to come to school, has reduced gender stereotypes among students and the values taught in the program like teamwork and cooperation are also witnessed in the classroom not just on the field.
