JAIPUR: In line with Rajasthan government's vision to promote women's empowerment through sports, the government of Rajasthan has signed a collaboration with Borussia Dortmund, one of Germany's top football clubs. Under the MoU, Borussia Dortmund will train the next generation of female football talent in the state, building on the recent victory of the state's junior girls' team in the Junior National Football Championship. The team, which registered a 3-1 win over Karnataka in the Tier-2 final in Belagavi, Karnataka, has now earned promotion to Tier 1 of the national tournament.
This collaboration, which is a direct outcome of chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's recent visit to Germany, is a step forward in empowering women and advancing rural development in the state.
