Sports
Towards developing in children a well rounded personality, CSP runs the sports programme with the collaboration of Rabindra Sarobar Athletics Club. Since the introduction of a regular sports and athletics programme, many children across all programmes have had an opportunity to access and utilize a sports facility with the benefit of free open spaces away from the claustrophobic overcrowding of their slum existence.
There is regular attendance of about 30 children from various programmes at the Athletics Training camp at Rabindra Sarobar stadium, Kolkata. Many of the children from the athletics section have participated in various local events and won honours. .
CSP has tied up with a soccer coaching run by Southern Sports Club. Although this is a comparatively recent venture a couple of Home boys are showing real promise as sportsmen.
