Health Competence and Awareness
At the Indian Young Sporting Alliance (IYSA), we assert that good health serves as the cornerstone for a promising future. Numerous children in government schools, care facilities, and marginalized communities are deprived of vital health education. Our initiative addresses this deficiency by incorporating health-oriented learning within sports programs, thereby ensuring that young individuals develop into healthier and more knowledgeable adults.
