Perumbakkam Sports Programme

Empowering Students Through Sports

A 2-year sports & skill-development programme training 348 children aged 12–18 across 6 sports in Perumbakkam, Chennai — a resettlement neighbourhood where structured play, mentorship, and safe ground are still rare.

The Context

A neighbourhood that deserves more than concrete.

Perumbakkam is a resettlement neighbourhood in south Chennai, home to over 1,752 children from domestic-worker and informal-sector families. Open ground is scarce. Structured sport is scarcer. Rising screen-time and exposure to substance misuse are eroding focus, school attendance, and confidence in a generation that has the talent — but not the runway.

Sport is one of the lowest-cost, highest-impact interventions for this. Done well, it builds discipline, teamwork, and self-respect — and it does so in plain sight of the whole community.

Our Response

A structured, two-year sports programme — built for continuity, not events.

Certified coaches. Branded kits. Morning and evening one-hour sessions, six days a week. 60 training hours every month, with equal participation of boys and girls and priority to children of domestic workers and CRM students. Training venue: the ground near PHC, Perumbakkam.

Every batch progresses from skill-building to inter-community matches to zonal and district tournaments — so that confidence is built not only on the field, but in the recognition that follows it.

Outcomes We Commit To

Measured, reported, and visible in the community.

Stronger Concentration & Discipline

Daily practice rewires focus. Students who train regularly show better classroom attention, fewer behavioural flags, and improved homework completion.

Measured pre & post, every year

Less Screen Time, Lower Risk

Structured evenings on the field crowd out idle screen hours and reduce exposure to substance misuse — the two biggest behavioural risks in resettlement areas.

60 hours/month of active play

Equal Ground for Girls

Girls and boys train in equal numbers across every single sport — including Kabaddi and Karate. Visibility of girls on the field shifts what the community considers possible.

50:50 enrolment, every batch

Tournament Exposure

From inter-community matches to zonal and district-level competitions — students earn recognition, build resilience, and meet peers from beyond their neighbourhood.
