June 27 ‘2025 | Sports Authority of India

June 27th, at the Sports Authority of India campus in Hyderabad, I had the honour of leading a 2 and half hour POSH and POCSO awareness session, organised by the Sports Authority of India.

The session brought together over 100 male and female athletes aged 16 to 22, along with 20 coaches and support staff aged 25 to 45, each one stepping into the space with openness and intention. What began with quiet curiosity and perhaps a touch of reservation gradually blossomed into something extraordinary.

As we delved into the realities these laws seek to address, the room shifted. Conversations deepened. Faces changed. And a shared sense of purpose quietly began to take root.

The athletes participated with remarkable honesty and spirit responding to quizzes, posing thought-provoking questions, and exploring hypothetical scenarios with maturity beyond their years. Their engagement wasn’t just encouraging it was moving. What stood out most was their shared resolve. Each participant walked out with a clearer mind and a firmer belief in shaping their sporting journey with dignity, awareness, and mutual respect.

One quote in particular echoed through the session: “Silence never scored a goal.” It resonated deeply and was embraced as both a reminder and a promise. Together, they pledged to wear these laws as a form of armour to protect themselves, to speak up, and to stand beside their peers when it matters most.

I wish to extend my sincere gratitude to Ms. Nisha Vidhyarthi, Assistant Director, Sports Authority of India, for her warmth, kindness, and relentless dedication to the safety and well-being of every athlete. Your gracious support and presence anchored the day.

My heartfelt thanks also to Mr. Manoj Khanna for entrusting me with this prestigious opportunity and for believing in the power of these conversations.

And to DDF fam - thank you for being our constant. Your encouragement, love, and belief made this possible.

This session reminded me once again: awareness isn’t a formality it’s a responsibility. And today, that responsibility was not only accepted, but deeply honoured. 🌸 #pocso #posh #
