Pro Panja League in Ater Fort?

Pro Panja League owner Mr Parvin Dabas was heavily impressed by the grandness of the Ater Fort. He continued by saying that Ater has a beautiful fort, and that by holding Pro Panja League there, the sport can gain a lot exposure.

To make ProPanja league more inclusive, we organise matches for specially-abled people as well,” Dabas added.

He left no chance to praise Bhind and saying the district has progressed a lot. “It feels good to see that Bhind– earlier known for dacoits, now has students learning computer and tech.

Actor Preeti Jhangiani also praised the local authorities in promoting education to the children in the villages. She toured the Gohad region of the district before travelling to Bhind. She praised the efforts being made to support children’s schooling in the villages that have not yet received electricity. To provide students with access to education and the internet, solar-powered computers are being installed in buses.
