Isha Gramotsavam

Celebrating the Sporting Spirit of Rural India

Nov - Dec 2024

Aims to rejuvenate the spirit of rural India and foster a sense of community, tradition and healthy competition

“Gramotsavam is an effort to bring back the spirit of Bharat by making everyone’s life a little more playful. To play is the highway to Physical, Mental, and Social Health.”

VISION BEHIND

Gramotsavam

Over 60% of rural India is of working age, yet it faces challenges due to unviable agriculture and non-inclusive growth. The rural youth find themselves engulfed by abject poverty and succumb to addictions. Isha Gramotsavam is an endeavor to rekindle the rural spirit and bring back the celebratory mode in the rural community.

Through sports and an elaborate display of rural culture, Isha Gramotsavam has become an effective tool to transform society by helping villagers stay away from addictions, breaking caste barriers, empowering women, and reviving the resilient rural spirit.
