Ek Bharat Ek Lakshya Awards 2025: STAIRS Champions Sports Leadership

Reimagining sport as a powerful language of transformation and national unity, the STAIRS Foundation (Society for Transformation, Inclusion, and Recognition through Sports) is set to host one of India’s most significant youth and sports gatherings — the STAIRS National Games 2025 and EBEL (Ek Bharat Ek Lakshya) Awards 2025.

Scheduled for Monday, 19 May 2025, at Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi, the event marks a milestone in grassroots sports and youth leadership, showcasing how ethical participation and community engagement can build a more inclusive and future-ready India. The day will begin with the official launch of the STAIRS National Games 2025, bringing together young athletes from over 20 states, championing a level-playing field where performance, not privilege, defines success. 

The STAIRS National Sports Excellence Awards 2025 will recognise unsung heroes- coaches, educators, volunteers, and institutions who have shaped India’s sports culture at the grassroots.
