Women’s football plays a key role in social development in India

Women’s football in India has certainly progressed with time. As Indian football looks to touch new horizons a variety of social development initiatives have been taken related to football. In order to combat some of the social problems like early marriage, an NGO has taken the step of organizing women’s football in one of the poorest states of India.

In the Hutup village located in the state of Jharkhand, girls have taken up the game of football and pursuing it on a very serious note. In s state which has come to the limelight for wrong reasons like human trafficking and poverty, generating a general interest for football among girls is quite difficult.

With the support of an NGO called Yuwa who are widely acknowledged for taking these type of social initiatives, steps to find and harness young girls talent has been taken. A team has been formed among the young girls who recently participated in a U- 14 tournament held in the country of Spain. The same team has also performed quite well in another tournament held in the United States.

As per the version of the girls who are the members of the team early marriage is one of the serious issues which faces the village. At the age of 16 even before adulthood, the girls are married off which hampers their education and way of living. Apart from excelling in football, the education of these impoverished girls is taken care of by the NGO.
