              tomorrow’s sporting stars and hone their talent, Reliance Foundation

              class sporting infrastructure to give these athletes the resources to
              succeed. The training programmes help maximise their potential while
              nationwide competition structures provide a route to the highest level
              of competition. This is bolstered by dedicated initiatives featuring
              intensive support to elite athletes to put India on the podium.
