Coming from a small, humble town in Madhya Pradesh, where dreams seemed distant and survival was the only focus, over 200 talented sportspersons have defied the odds and transformed their lives in the last decade. They didn’t just change their own futures, but also reshaped the destinies of their families, villages, and even the entire state. How did this incredible shift happen? The answer lies in a magical 11.2-acre land—Nehru Park. Once forgotten, deteriorating and crumbling, this land, which had lost its vibrancy over the years, has now become a beacon of hope. This park has become a sanctuary for every child with talent, nurturing them into champions, regardless of their background. The good news is: Nehru Park is under a transformation, rejuvenation and repair. Here is a bird view of the historic park’s transformation with a peak into its impact.
