This paper's Sunday section had a sunshine story about children studying in civic schools in the city, pushing the barriers when it comes to sport. Girls and boys studying in BMC schools and from the lower economic strata are training hard. They have now become a force to reckon with in football, boxing and basketball.

The detailed report cites the progress of these children in the sport they have chosen. They have a few backers, coaches and organisers who have kept the faith, schemes promoting youth sports and benefactors who keep the game going and the flame burning for these children. They are also getting some opportunities to go abroad for training camps, though of course, these are few and far between.
