Think Sport will track initiatives across India which seek to build and strengthen a vibrant sports culture; one that reaches every level of society while encouraging holistic development. These initiatives will soon build a culture such that people participate in recreational sport as a lifestyle choice.
The growing movement that recognises the personal and social benefits of sport has the potential to make a valuable contribution to development. Sport for development has been recognised byUNICEFand other international bodies as a key tool to achieve various development objectives. India has the potential to join these ranks by recognising and applying the lessons of community based sports initiatives. Think Sport recognises that developing the culture and attitudes towards sport requires change at all levels, from policy to play. This platform will serve to connect groups working toward this change.
