Whenever there is talk of sports and players in the country, the name of Haryana comes at the top. There is also a lot of passion for sports among the youth of Haryana. Due to sports, most of the youth in Haryana also get jobs and at the same time bring laurels to the country.
Some village of Haryana is considered for football, some boxing and some basketball. Today we are talking about a village in Haryana, in which the passion of Kabaddi is so prevalent from the children to the elders that the youth do not even turn to any other sport.
We are talking about the village Budsham, located 20 km from Panipat. Most of the youth and children here are interested in Kabaddi and due to this many youth have got government jobs. In the evening, all the big and small go out towards the ground.

In the previous session of Kabaddi Pro, about 12 players have shown their stamina.
The foundation was laid in 1987
It is said that the youth in this village started playing Kabaddi in the year 1987. Then the villagers taunted him that he would become the champion. After this, those youth showed the villagers as champions. Some of those players also got government jobs on the strength of the game. After seeing them, the trend of Kabaddi started in the village and since 1987 till now the youth of this game have been playing the same game.

Here 80 to 100 youth have been recruited in the army due to sports and some are serving in the Air Force and some are serving in other places. Some youth are giving their services in other government departments. More than 300 youth have got government jobs because of this kabaddi. A few years back, a Kabaddi nursery was also opened here by the government. But due to Corona, that nursery was also closed and outside players stopped coming here.

Two Kabaddi grounds in the village
There are two Kabaddi grounds in the village. Where about 400 children practice daily and 2 coaches at both the places who train the children by giving free services. He says that he gives his services only for the future of the children.
If he could not get a job, he wanted to take the children to a good position through sports. The player who has played Kabaddi Pro told that he has played 6 sessions of Kabaddi Pro and this time he could not participate.
Villagers say that if the government pays a little more attention to this village, then more players can emerge and illuminate the name of the country in the world.
