By coaching them in various sports, we hope to channelize their energies constructively, instilling discipline, resilience, and self-confidence.”
Vaidya also thanked the various prison and government authorities for their contribution and participation in this mission. “Embodying our core value of Care, ‘Parivartan’ and ‘Nayi Disha’ have reached out to the most disadvantaged and vulnerable sections of the society - prison inmates and add joy and health to their lives by inducting them into sports. I am thankful to the various prison authorities and government representatives for joining us in our endeavour build a better life for inmates,” he added.
On the occasion, the participating state government & prison authorities thanked IndianOil for this unique intervention that will help prison inmates and juveniles build a better life and develop a strong, intellectual, and strategic
