INTRODUCTION

Quality physical activity is fundamental to child development - cognitive development, motor skills, emotional and mental growth. We
can’t just leave this to chance and expect our children to obtain the physical literacy they need for life. Being physically active is not
just about burning calories or kids letting off steam - it is fundamental to their development

Outside of academic achievement, we also know that sports is essential for kids to grow, think, engage and be part of their community
and wider society. There is a broad and growing evidence base for this. Importantly, when we don’t support youth to be involved in
sport, then the next generation will not only miss out on the physical, academic and social benefits, but they also pass their behavior
and attitudes on to their own children.

The number of juvenile delinquents has risen in the last few years. “According to the National Crime Records Bureau,” the
Education & Family Background of Juveniles Arrested in Metropolitan Cities - 2016, the UT Delhi ranked highest with the total
number 3610 juvenile amongst the Metro Cities. Out of 3610 juveniles, 1007 are illiterate, 1463 attained Primary Education, 1065
attained above Primary but below High Secondary, and 75 attained Higher Secondary & Above.

Juveniles in Conflict with Law

I. Maximum number of cases under juveniles in conflict with law were reported in Delhi (35.6%) followed by Mumbai (14.2%)
and Pune (11.3%) during 2016.

II. A total of 9,341 juveniles were apprehended in 6,645 cases, out of which 8,971 juveniles were apprehended under IPC cases
and 370 juveniles were apprehended under SLL cases during 2016.

III. Majority of juveniles in conflict with law apprehended under IPC & SLL crimes were in the age group of 16 yrs. to 18 years
(73.7%) (6,881 out of 9,341) during 2016.

If youth in Observation Homes start receiving regular, quality physical literacy for professional sports i.e Boxing etc, then
rehabilitation programme will become career oriented to change their mindset and reducing recidivism. Boxing Sports Development
Programme in Observation Homes will become a life changing experience, and a great opportunity to develop self-discipline and
provide the ground for youth to make career in boxing sport, and earn for their living.

I. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

“Children in conflict with the law are called by many names: criminal, thief, murderer, rapist. When people look at them, if they look
at all, all they see are the faces of young criminals - fierce, vicious, and rough. When people speak of them, their voices are often full
of contempt, scorn and even condemnation. These children are given names that speak only of their crimes and not of their intrinsic
humanity. What many do not know, or do not care to know, is that these wicked faces are, sadly, often only masks— masks that
children have put on themselves to hide their pain, anger, and fear, or masks that we, in our indifference and even revulsion, have
actually put on them. Because we mistake their masks for their faces, we forget who these children are. We forget that they are children,
who have much to learn, much to do, and much to hope for. In believing the masks to be real, we undermine children’s capacity for
growth and change.”

Since Observation Homes are like transit points for such offenders, Boxing Sports Development Programme in Observation Homes
will be a great opportunity to develop self-discipline and provide the ground for youth to make career in professional boxing sport, and
earn for their living.

Boxing is globally the most popular combat sport in the world. It has been recognized as a sport in the Olympics, Commonwealth and
Asian games for more than two decades. A boxer has been the highest paid athlete globally for 3 consecutive years - Floyd
Mayweather (World Boxing Champion)

In India, the professional boxing avenue has been opened through Vijender Singh and the glorious victory of MC Mary Kom in
Olympics. Boxing like any other combat sports attracts significant number of young population. In such a scenario, Boxing has a huge
scope in India due to maximum youth population is under 25 age. Down the ages, the popular mindset has been that sports are good
for the mind and body but it cannot help you earn your daily bread. The professional sports league in India & worldwide have created a
platform for sportsperson to make career in sports as professional player, and earn for their living. Professional boxing league has also
become a platform for maximum skilled players to showcase their talent to the world and earn for their living after them achieving
medals for nation.

Sports for development and crime prevention

“The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development underlines the growing contribution of sports as a tool for peace in its promotion
of tolerance and respect. It also highlights the contributions that sport can make to the empowerment of communities as a whole, to
individuals (particularly women and young people) as well as to health, education and social inclusion. More specifically, sports offer
an important opportunity for building life skills of at-risk youth that allow them to better cope with daily life challenges and move
away from involvement in violence, crime or drug use. - United Nations Office On Drugs and Crime (UNODC)”

Boxing for the Youth:

The Boxing Sports Development Programme is inspired from the vision set forth in the National Youth Policy-2014 as envisioned by
the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India which aims to accomplish the following goals for the Youth of India
namely:

1. Developing a strong and healthy generation through Sports and Healthy lifestyle
2. Support Youth at Risk and create equitable opportunity for all, through Inclusion and Social Justice
3. Facilitate Youth Engagement
4. Promote social values and community engagement
5. Create a productive workforce through education, entrepreneurship, employment and skill development.

The Boxing Sports Development Programme is a step in this direction where we aspire to contribute to the development of children in
Conflict with Law through boxing for youth at risk in juvenile prisons, in order to develop a healthy lifestyle and support equitable
opportunity for them through Inclusion and Social Justice.

The program thereby is a comprehensive physical education curriculum for children in juvenile prisons to promote Youth
development, Health, Education and skill development through the sport of boxing.
Engaging the Youth is essential to achieve the goal of Crime Prevention and this program aspires to achieve it through promoting the
sport of boxing in juvenile prisons across the country.
