-Prakash Padukone
When you play for the love of the game, you play with respect and humility. You play for the team and for everyone who has made it possible for you to step out on the field. That’s what sport is about and that’s what makes you a true sportsperson.
-Rahul Dravid
Infrastructure is the backbone for development in any field. The Padukone – Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence was built to provide Indian sport with the world class infrastructure it needs to produce sportsperson of the highest caliber. Playing sport is also the foundation on which we can promote a fit, balanced lifestyle for all, ensuring we become a healthier nation.
