Sports is an integral part of Army and it’s local sub-unit at Kachugaon has pledged to donate football equipment for the cause.
The children who have potential to rise high in the world of football will be participating in the next edition of the Kokrajhar Football Tournament and later in the prestigious Army BTAD football league.
This initiative is a fine example of how football can cut across all castes and ethnicities. The inauguration program included a cultural performance by the children followed by an address by Army and police officials, as well as by the representatives of the club.
