In addition, the CSR arm of the company—Reliance Foundation, has been progressively running multi-year grassroots development programs in football and basketball under Reliance Foundation Young Champs and Reliance Foundation Junior NBA initiatives, introducing over half a million children to sports and providing enhanced training through robust scouting programs. This is yet another key milestone in the company’s endeavour to empower and support national sporting talents. Each one of these athletes qualified to represent India at Olympic Games, is our national hero.
