He urges them to step away from their electronic gadgets and dive into the world of sports. This call to action comes as the team launches the third edition of its Junior Titans programme.
Focus on Physical Activity Over Digital Distractions
In a recent statement, Singh highlighted the growing concern over excessive screen time among children. He emphasized that sports offer a healthy alternative to constant digital engagement. The Junior Titans programme is designed to provide structured sports activities that promote physical fitness and teamwork.
"Leave your gadgets and let's sport it out," Singh declared, capturing the essence of the initiative. He believes that engaging in sports can help young people develop crucial life skills. These include discipline, resilience, and social interaction.
