Telugu Titans players inspire next-gen athletes in special interaction

Vizag, Sep 8(UNI) The electrifying spirit of kabaddi came alive at GITAM University as part of a special engagement activity during the ongoing Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12. Students and fans were treated to an exclusive interaction with the home side- Telugu Titans - along with E. Prasad Rao, Technical Director of PKL, and Arun Karthik, Assistant Dean at GITAM.
The event opened with an insightful conversation between Rao and Karthik, who discussed the rapid rise of kabaddi, the importance of university-level sports, and PKL’s role in inspiring young athletes across India.
E. Prasad Rao, Technical Director of the PKL, said, “Kabaddi is not just a sport, it is in our culture and our identity. What once began as a humble village game has grown into a global spectacle, because of the Pro Kabaddi League. From beaches to indoor arenas, from the Asian Games to the world stage, the sport has undergone a complete transformation- and I believe the day is not far when India will win its first Olympic gold medal in kabaddi.” He concluded with a quip, saying, “If you want to be a crorepati, join the Pro Kabaddi League!”
