Alamdar Peace and Welfare Foundation supports school students and beneficiaries, especially youth, by providing coaches and grounds to develop their skills. While cricket and football are the most popular sports in the valley, badminton is widely played at school and college levels. As part of the HCL Foundation’s “Sports for Change” initiative, badminton teams went through a rigorous selection process. Although the team performed well at the national finals in Nagpur, Maharashtra, they did not win a prize. Nonetheless, the experience provided valuable exposure for the players.
