Join the Olympic Day celebrations in India with free sports sessions, including padel, and witness cricketing debuts!

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is set to ignite a wave of enthusiasm for sports across India with its upcoming initiative, `Let`s Move India +1`, in collaboration with the Abhinav Bindra Foundation and Reliance Foundation. On June 23, 2025, over 50 sports venues nationwide will open their doors for free paired sessions in various sports, including padel, cricket, football, badminton, and pickleball. This initiative aims to foster a culture of physical activity and sports engagement among the populace.

Leading the charge is Abhinav Bindra, India`s first individual Olympic gold medallist, who is championing this campaign through his Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP). This program has already reached over 60,000 schools in Odisha, Assam, and Chandigarh, instilling a spirit of movement and sport among the youth. The campaign will feature a variety of activities, including paired yoga, group dance, and traditional games like kho-kho, alongside Olympic-themed arts and crafts for students.

In the realm of cricket, June 20, 2025, marks a significant day as six Indians made their Test debuts, including Sai Sudharsan at Headingley Stadium, Leeds. Although Sudharsan faced a challenging start with a duck, his journey as India’s 317th Test cricketer has just begun, while teammates like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased their prowess with impressive centuries.
