Dozens of youngsters from various tribal hamlets in the Nilambur region shared an amazing football experience on Friday and Saturday when they contested in a mud football tournament for the time.
Excitement was palpable on the faces of the youngsters as they displayed their skills in the mud. “This can be a game changer for us. It is the first time we play in mud,” said Bineesh Peruvampadam, who coordinated one of the teams.
The Jan Sikshan Sansthan (JSS) organised the tournament for the tribal youth of Nilambur with the objective of preventing youngsters from falling prey to liquor and drug abuse. The JSS held the unique game as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.
