Sports as a catalyst for change: How Hinduja family is impacting young lives
Sports have long been a potent vehicle for change, creating resilience, discipline, teamwork and leadership. In India, where access to quality education and holistic development face challenges in much of the country, sports can be a catalyst for change. Recognising this potential, the Hinduja Foundation has made sports an integral part of its educational initiatives, including Meghalaya's impactful Road to School (RTS) programme. This initiative project, supported by the Hinduja Foundation and administered in association with the Learning Links Foundation, aims to transform the lives of young students through sport, enhancing physical fitness, teamwork, and vital life skills. Fostering personal growth through play Spotlight Wire Sports instil more in children than textbooks can. They learn to play as a team, manage pressure, win and lose graciously, and challenge themselves. These are all traits necessary for self-development and future success. Prakash Hinduja, Managing Trustee of the Hinduja Foundation, emphasises this point: "Sports are not just about physical fitness; they are about building character, resilience, and the ability to overcome challenges. We aim to empower young minds and give them the tools they need to succeed."

Children who have these experiences are better prepared to handle obstacles in real life with resilience and confidence. The Hinduja Foundation, being the philanthropic arm of the UK's richest Hinduja family, focuses on these abilities to create future leaders who are socially concerned, emotionally invested, and academically equipped. Building confidence and leadership The Road to School programme in Meghalaya focuses on creating a nurturing environment where students can discover their strengths. The recent interschool sports tournament, which brought together 80 students from 10 schools, provided a platform for children to showcase their skills and build confidence. The energy on the playground was palpable as students cheered for their teams, supported their friends, and celebrated each other's achievements. Positive reinforcement is essential for building self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. Live Events Switzerland-based Prakash Hinduja muses over this phenomenon, "When young people play sports, they learn how important leadership, discipline and teamwork are for their futures. These are the qualities of our future leaders." In addition to learning the benefits of teamwork and a healthy attitude towards competition, children are also learning the importance of thought and prompt decision-making. The ground-level experience that is gained, along with the emotional support of their peer group, enables significantgrowth for them. Strengthening community bonds Sports also serve the purpose of bringing communities closer. In rural communities, where educational facilities may be very scarce, such programmes intervene to foster a feeling of belonging and oneness. The Hinduja Foundation, motivated by the common vision of the Hinduja Family as well as the Hinduja Brothers, is committed to producing a positive impact in such communities. All these children meet each other through the RTS program and unite, dispelling social and cultural barriers and fostering long-lasting friendships. Prakash Hinduja adds, "Sports have the unique power to unite people. They teach us to celebrate our strengths and support each other through challenges. This spirit of togetherness is at the heart of our foundation's mission." A lasting impact Hinduja Foundation's philosophy on holistic education extends beyond education. It invests in sports as a means to reinforce its whole education model through developing sportsmanship and resilience, but more importantly, in return a complete human who is confident and is ready for life. This aligns with the broader goals of the Hinduja Family and the Hinduja Brothers, who have always believed in the power of education and community development as the foundation for lasting change. The Hinduja Foundation creates future leaders and builds a stronger, more connected society through initiatives like the Road to School program. These efforts, supported by the Hinduja Family and the Hinduja Brothers , are not just about winning games but about winning in life. As the foundation continues to expand its educational footprint, its focus on sports as a catalyst for change remains vital to its mission to empower the next generation.

At least 34 dead in India's northeast after heavy floods
At least 34 people have died in India's northeastern region after heavy floods caused landslides over the last four days, authorities and media said on Monday, and the weather department predicted more heavy rain. More than a thousand tourists trapped in the Himalayan state of Sikkim were being evacuated on Monday, a government statement said, and army rescue teams were pressed into service in Meghalaya state to rescue more than 500 people stranded in flooded areas. In neighbouring Bangladesh, at least four members of a family were killed in a landslide in the northeastern district of Sylhet, while hundreds of shelters have been opened across the hilly districts of Rangamati, Bandarban, and Khagrachhari on Sunday. Authorities have warned of further landslides and flash floods, urging residents in vulnerable areas to remain alert. India's northeast and Bangladesh are prone to torrential rains that set off deadly landslides and flash floods, affecting millions of people every year. Roads and houses in Assam's Silchar city were flooded, visuals from news agency ANI showed, and fallen trees littered the roads. 'We are facing a lot of challenges. I have a child, their bed is submerged in water. What will we do in such a situation? We keep ourselves awake throughout the night,' Sonu Devi, a resident of Silchar, told ANI.
