So, it is very important that our young kids meet and interact with more sports women as well. We are deeply humbled and honored to have Geeta Phogat grace the Elpro Sports Fest 2.0. Students were extremely excited to see her, hear her talk and share some fun experiences from her younger days in the field of sports. Our aim through Elpro Sports Fest 2.0 is to speak to the youth, to teach all values of teamwork, self-reliance and resilience.
