The zonal winners will compete against each other in a grand finale in Delhi. Eight children across different age-groups will win scholarships for training in a reputed Badminton Academy.
In addition, the company is conducting mass tournaments at housing societies and corporates to promote badminton at grassroot level.
With an intention to provide an opportunity to talented children from the underprivileged community, PNB MetLife has joined hands with Child Rights & You (CRY).
The children identified by CRY and their activation partner Sara Foundation will compete to win the Junior Badminton Championship trophy and a full scholarship to a top badminton academy in their home city.
The 16 zonal winners will also be invited to Delhi to watch the ‘MetLife BWF Superseries’ and play friendly matches with the stars and other children. PNB MetLife is also supported by MetLife Foundation in this endeavour.
