Hello Everyone! KHEL YATRA is back…..!!!
Here at Jyoti Yatra, we love sports and are interested in encouraging learning through sports. We noticed that there aren’t many competitive events for the children in underprivileged schools, and hence we decided to create a sports branch, Khel Yatra, so that more people would be able to experience our passion. We want to bring out the competitive spirit in kids, discover their sporting talent, and make them smile. In April 2017, we held our first event: An inter-school Track and Field competition, in which over 16 secondary schools participated, and we are proud to say that it was a major success!
This August, we are proud to announce a 5-a-side football tournament for elementary schools across the NCR!
We were looking for 16 underprivileged Elementary schools to bring teams of 7 children to participate in a round-robin style football tournament, which will be held in Gurgaon (Ansal University Sports Complex) on Sunday, 27th August 2017.Thank you to the following schools for accepting our invitation!
