JAMMU, Sept 20: A joint team from Fitnessgram and the International Institute of Sports Management (IISM) Mumbai, including Aman Kumar, Parth Pandya, Karan Mange and Kinjal Mehta, met with prominent sports administrator Ranjeet Kalra to discuss potential collaborations.
The discussions aimed to explore the launch of various sports management, fitness and health programs targeted at coaches and athletes, particularly students under 18 years of age in Jammu and Kashmir. This initiative is vital for promoting physical fitness and sports education in the region.
