SportsTata Steel has used its know-how and
resources in the area of sports to help tribals discover their untapped
potential, enabling them to gain a foothold in the social mainstream and the confidence to
compete and excel.
Every year, Tata Steel identifies 12
potential tribal athletes and provides them subsistence and accommodation along with
training. It assists them to participate in the state, regional and National meets. All
this is done at an approximate cost of Rs. 1,25,000 annually.
The Company also enables tribals to
enter the Tata Archery Academy where they are trained in a sport that they already have a
flair for. The Tata Football Academy and Tata Athletic Academy also nurtures and trains
the participants from Jharkhand and Orissa. |
