Financial constraints often force talented young girls to give up athletic competition and higher secondary studies. Under Project Swabhiman, Janseva Pratishthan Foundation has provided 400+ girls with elite training gear and scholastic supplies.

Breaking Socio-Economic Barriers in Athletics

Young runners, boxers, and kabaddi players from municipal schools frequently compete in worn-out footwear or lacking nutritional supplements. Janseva Pratishthan Foundation intervened with customized sports shoes, moisture-wicking tracksuits, agility equipment, and specialized health nutrition packs.

Integrated Academic & Career Mentorship

Alongside sports gear, each recipient received a complete scholastic kit containing reference textbooks, school bags, stationery, and eligibility guidance for state sports quotas and university scholarships.

“When you empower a girl to run, train, and study with pride, she transforms her entire neighborhood. Project Swabhiman is our pledge that financial hardship will never extinguish athletic brilliance.”
