Solanki Viraj Bharatbhai

IR3006

The program started as a place where healthy physical training habits could be inculcated.  It would also engage those people who are excluded from most training facilities and provide coaching and training facilities while also working with local community groups to improve access to members of local communities.  It intends that the old mill workers and other underprivileged people around the site who have no proper place to practice would become motivated to improve their own physical and mental health.   It would also make people aware of Akhadas, where traditional Indian sports like Kushti, Pole Mallakhamb, and Rope Mallakhamb take place.  It would create a space where traditional and modern exercises could be blended, making way for the revival of 21st-century Akhadas.  It would be a nurturing space rather than a hindering space, and hence a typical gym, where one requires following a certain language would not be adopted, as the intent is more holistic.  The aim of the center would be to allow people to connect.
