A unique Squash Development Programme (SDP) is underway in Delhi and the NCR (NOIDA, Ghaziabad, Faridabad & Gurgaon). It is an effort to take the game of Squash Rackets to the kids…in schools, at Sports Complexes as well as in Group Housing Societies…thereby promoting it as a lifestyle sport.
It is an amalgamation of the expertise of:
- Ritwik Bhattacharya (5 times Indian Squash National Champion)
- Dr. B.I.Singh…who has been training kids in DDA Complexes since the last 8-10 years, and
- REACHA…which specializes in Child Centric Learning By Doing Modules (CCLBD)…and imparts life-skills to kids through such development interventions.
