The Reliance foundation time and again does its philanthropy work, and this time it brings in football madness. It handed out residential school scholarships to 24 hand-picked boys in the age group of 11-14 years.
The scholarships have been given via selection under a grassroots programme, chairperson Nita Ambani said that in the first year itself the programme was able to reach out to five lakh children across the length and breadth of the country.
It’s from those 5 lakh children, 200 were first chosen to undergo a 10-day training and then the final selection of 24 took place for Reliance Foundation Young Champs who will receive training under expert international coaches and trainers and will also get to study at the Reliance Foundation School in Mumbai.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan, cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar and Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani were among those present on the occasion along with cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan, apart from ISL club owners and Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham.
