Former All-England champion and celebrated badminton coach Pullela Gopichand initiated the country's largest 'train the trainers' programme on Thursday, inducting 1500 Physical Education (PE) teachers from across Gujarat for advanced training.
Envisioned by the ELMS Sports Foundation, a not-for-profit initiative promoted by Vita and Jalaj Dani and mentored by Gopichand and Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra, the programme aims to develop the skills of PE teachers so that they can impart the right techniques to children aspiring to make it big at sports.
'This is the largest skill development programme at the grassroots level. It will impact over 45,000 children every year and change the Physical Literacy and Sports knowledge in schools in Gujarat,' Gopichand said in a video message during the launch of the event, called 'Khel Shikshak ki Lagan'.
