In collaboration with the Corporate Donor, Bosconet continues to strengthen youth development in Nagaland and West Bengal through its ongoing Skilling Youth in Sports for Holistic Development programme.

During this phase, 203 young athletes benefited from structured coaching, with 120 in West Bengal and 83 in Nagaland. The initiative focuses on improving discipline, fitness, teamwork and technical skills across football, hockey, basketball and martial arts, ensuring holistic growth for children from underserved communities.

Daily Training That Builds Discipline & Strength

The programme continues to offer structured sports training that helps young athletes build discipline, fitness, and strong foundational skills. Regular coaching, nutritional support, and routine health check-ups ensure a balanced focus on physical development, motivation, and overall well-being. Both centres continued to provide regular coaching in football, hockey, basketball and martial arts. At Don Bosco Sports Academy (DBSA), Dimapur (Nagaland), students engage in football, basketball, Shaolin Kung Fu and Taekwondo sessions daily to build endurance, confidence and core skills.

In Krishnanagar (West Bengal), football and hockey training progress steadily, with new hockey equipment in use and football gear currently being arranged.
