Grassroot Initiatives

Dabang Delhi’s approach towards grassroots development programs is through its ‘Dabang Paathsahla’.

Being a Women entrepreneur in creative design, Ms. Radha Kapoor feels it is imperative to employ new and innovative ideas, endorsed from best global practices to train India’s sporting talent. Dabang Delhi players are the brand ambassadors and have identified the simple process of live short listing during the multiple tournaments that take place on a daily basis in Kabaddi from their catchment areas like Delhi NCR, Haryana UP and rest of North India.
