Ms. Vita Dani
Co-promoter & Chairperson
As the co-promoter of Dani Sports Foundation, it fills me with immense pride to share our vision and achievements in fostering sports excellence and physical literacy across India. Our foundation is anchored in two pivotal initiatives: Project Chhalaang and our High Performance Sports. Project Chhalaang is our heartfelt endeavour to instil physical literacy at the grassroots level, prioritising not just athleticism but holistic development. This initiative uniquely integrates life skills with physical education, directly contributing to Sustainable Development Goals such as good health, quality education, gender equality, and reduced inequalities. Through it, we aim to elevate the life trajectory of our youth, offering them a platform to leap towards greater heights—beyond just sports. Simultaneously, our High-Performance initiative operates in a realm of its own, focusing on refining and elevating the standards of sports academies across the nation. This segment is dedicated to enhancing the professional development of administrators and coaches, ensuring they are equipped with state-of-the-art methodologies and insights. It's a testament to our commitment to excellence, aspiring to place India on the global sports map by nurturing talent that can compete on international stages. Though these initiatives stand apart in their focus and approach, together, they weave a cohesive narrative of our foundation's dedication to sports development. From sowing the seeds of physical literacy to honing the skills of our country's future champions, ELMS Sports Foundation is a catalyst for change, driving forward with a vision to empower and inspire. With hope and determination,
