Mallakhamb Empowers Tribal Youth in Dadra and Nagar Haveli

Mallakhamb Empowers Tribal Youth in Dadra and Nagar Haveli

In the tribal areas of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, a traditional sport called Mallakhamb is helping young people gain confidence and new opportunities.

Coach Shubham Mair started teaching this sport to children who had never heard of it before.

At first, they trained in fields and on bare ground with no equipment.

But with support from the government, they now have better training facilities.

Many children, like Kavya and Trusha, are discovering their potential through Mallakhamb.

The sport is helping them believe in themselves and dream big.

However, there are still challenges, like not having enough female coaches to train girls.

Despite this, the community is working hard to ensure everyone has a chance to succeed.
