Why Sports?Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi, Chairman & Managing Director Uflex Limited strongly believes that:

Nothing bonds people better than sports;

Besides being an effective vehicle for promoting national integration, sports are instrumental for a physically fit and mentally alert India

CMD’s Thoughts on ‘SPORTS FOR GROWTH’

 “I am glad that our intervention ‘Sport for Growth’ is helping power-pack the personalities of the not so privileged children and youth, particularly that of girls and the differently-abled by infusing agility, confidence and self-esteem in them. Nothing bonds people better than Sports is what I strongly believe. ‘Sports for Growth’ is a definitive step for a physically fit and mentally alert India”.
