Sports
Literacy India sports programs engage and channelize children's energies for positive change.
Additionally, we nurture students who show talent and interest in sports. Sports, whether teambased
or individual, encourages children to engage with other children, build self-esteem and
confidence and motivates them to excel. This has a cascading affect on their academic
performance and helps build social skills. It also teaches children the benefits of goal-setting
and practice.
In the year 2016-17, our students have been selected for Garwal House Football Club and
participated in events like Doon Cup, 2017 and Talent Hunt, Delhi. Three of our girl students
have been selected for the Denmark Cup 2017 to compete in football.
Sports Star
Pooja, Literacy India school student, won the bronze medal in Judo at the National
Championship Gamesin 2015. A bright
student, she lives with her mother, who is
mentally challenged, and uncle after her
father deserted them a few years ago.
Pooja was an average student at the time
of joining our school. However, she has
slowly but surely shown marked
improvement in her academics, buoyed
by what we believe is an active life
involving sports, social interaction and a
desire to excel. She even helps her
classmates with academics and is an
active participant at school. She enjoys
drawing and takes a keen interest in
studying English, her favorite subject.
Pooja is an ambitious, all-rounder student
and dreams of becoming a Police Officer and the best Judo player in the country. Though her
school performance was slightly affected by a shift in her focus to the Judo championships, she
has significantly bridged that gap. She is inspired by Indian Judo Champions KH Tombi Devi
and Divya Mann. Her family received Rs 100,000 as cash Award from the Government of
Haryana, which will go a long way in encouraging her to continue to excel in sports and
academics.
