Mumbai, 11th June 2025: Swades Foundation partnered with U Mumba to translate on-field performance into meaningful social impact—bringing clean, renewable energy to rural homes in Maharashtra.
As part of their continued partnership with Swades Foundation—official social impact partner for Season 11 of the Pro Kabaddi League—U Mumba pledged to power rural homes through solar energy.
For every Super Tackle and Super Raid achieved during the season, 15 and 10 homes respectively were equipped with solar home lighting kits. With 8 Super Tackles and 4 Super Raids delivered through the season, a total of 160 rural homes have been lit up with clean, sustainable energy in rural Maharashtra.
In a special gesture honoring this commitment, U Mumba star player Ajit Chouhan visited the community in Badagi village, Peth taluka in Nashik district. There, he ceremonially switched on the solar lighting system as a symbol of the team’s dedication to rural transformation. Ajit then toured Gaidhond, Swades Foundation’s “Dream Village,” where he was greeted with enthusiasm by young fans. Local children cheered and posed for photographs, celebrating the arrival of both solar light and their Kabaddi hero in equal measure.
