Measured, Meaningful Impact Across India

Transforming communities through badminton and sports education programs

Who We Are

Right To Play Foundation is dedicated to uplifting sports and sports education in India, with a special focus on badminton and all sports. We make it accessible to underprivileged youth and everyone across the country.

Since 2020, we have been working to make sports accessible, inclusive, and sustainable โ€” empowering young girls, underserved athletes, and grassroots communities often left on the sidelines. We believe that sports are essential for the health and development of this generation's children.

Through our badminton and multi-sport play-based learning programs, we help children develop critical life skills like confidence, teamwork, leadership, and resilience. We work in communities where children face barriers to education, health, and opportunities.
