My hard work and constant guidance by our coach made it possible. I thank Tata Steel Meramandali and Tata Steel Foundation for all their assistance.” Tata Steel’s tradition has been to encourage and promote sports over a century now. Carrying forward this legacy, TSF, has been mentoring young and budding volleyball talents in and around Dhenkanal and Angul districts.

Since June 2019, volleyball players and aspirants from 15 peripheral villages of 7 Gram Panchayats such as Mangalpur, Nuahata, Nuagaon, Shibapur, Paik Purunakote, Khadaprasad, and Kusupanga around, TSM plant have been trained by Ashutosh Patra, a national level coach engaged by TSF. TSF has provided the necessary infrastructure like volleyball court, sports equipment, conducive atmosphere, and a dedicated state level Coach to fulfil their aspirations. All these players are being trained for junior, sub-junior and senior categories. Having seen the growth of volleyball in this region, girls are also getting attracted towards this sport.

Earlier, due to a lack of proper infrastructure, the players were facing difficulty to play after sunset. TSF has developed two solar powered volleyball courts in Khaliberana and Mangalpur villages to facilitate coaching in the night. Volleyball is gradually transforming the rural sports landscape in the region, with the promise of promoting local sporting talent.
