New Delhi: The Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Sports Foundation has achieved a significant milestone by renewing its Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC), reaffirming its commitment to using sports as a powerful instrument for social transformation, youth empowerment, equality and sustainable development.
The renewed international recognition marks an important chapter in the Foundation’s journey and strengthens its engagement with the global development community. The Foundation has consistently promoted sports not only as a means of physical fitness and competition, but also as a platform for education, discipline, leadership, social inclusion, equal opportunity and empowerment of young people.
A Foundation Working Beyond Sports

Through its programmes and activities, the Foundation seeks to encourage participation from diverse sections of society and provide opportunities for emerging athletes and young people to develop their skills and leadership potential.
International Engagement and Cooperation
