Sadhguru, Uthappa call to bring sports back to villages

Bengaluru, Sept 7 (UNI) Sadhguru, accompanied by former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa, called for bringing sports back to villages to make rural life playful and joyous, at the Karnataka Regional Finals of Isha Gramotsavam held at Sadhguru Sannidhi here today.
"Isha Gramotsavam is about raising the human spirit in rural India. The conditions there are such that traditional aspects of entertainment and involvement are gone. We want to bring back sport and make villagers playful so that the burdens of their life can be carried lightly," said Sadhguru, addressing a gathering of enthusiastic rural participants.
India’s largest rural sports festival, Isha Gramotsavam, conducted across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and for the first time in Odisha, celebrates the rural spirit by enabling farmers, daily wage earners, and women householders to participate in sports, fostering joy, community bonding, and healthy competition.
