Similarly, Laxman Baskey and Chaitan Hansdah from Kolabira Centre, and Sanjay Mumru and Akash Singh from Gurma Centre were selected to represent TFA in the I-League, the country�s premier football competition, in November 2015.
With an aim to nurture young sporting rural talents and to instill confidence, discipline and team-play in them, Tata Steel initiated Under-10 football coaching in 2012.
