It was around the launch of SSFL 2015 that I got an opportunity to be part of a policy-level discussion on the development of sports in disturbed zones, especially Jammu and Kashmir.
The day I got the brief, a parallel thought process started in the back of my mind. While through STAIRS we have been successfully showing the world how fundamental issues like poverty, hunger, and youth and women empowerment can be successfully addressed through sports-based interventions, the country is yet to establish a link between sports and the grave issues in Kashmir valley.
Interestingly, and thankfully so, the meeting that I attended was not a forum that needed to be told how sports could help in overall development of communities and countries. It was a forum where some respected individuals in policymaking circles at the state level and the national level presented their ideas and thoughts on the development of sports in Jammu and Kashmir; they also expressed concern about those who were not concerned.

70 parts Ongoing

When the truth comes out, there's nowhere left to run. Season 3 of Eliona's War *** When Seth received a new virtual reality video game from his uncle, he wasn't expecting to get swept up into a whole new world called Eliona. As it turned out, Eliona and its people are far more dangerous than Seth could ever have imagined. There is a real consequence to playing this game: it's changing him, and it might not be for the better. Now that Seth/Severance knows the truth of Eliona, there's no going back. Eliona is dying, and in order to save it, he needs to beat a very difficult dungeon before anyone else does. And on Earth, things are even worse. It's come to light that Eliona is leaving a mark on its players, and suddenly, everyone wants to be involved. Players find themselves with a target on their back, and Seth? He might just have the biggest one of all. Too bad for them, he's done running. *** Weekly updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wait & read for free, or unlock with coins-the choice is yours!
