Bridging the Gap Through Sport

About Us

About KhelSetu

A student-led initiative born out of a simple observation — and a desire to do something about it.

The Problem

Millions of children across India — including right here in Jaipur — are passionate about sport but have never touched a proper bat, ball, or racket. Not because they don't want to. Because they cannot afford it.

A basic cricket bat costs ₹500–₹3,000. For many families, that is a week of groceries. Sport, which should be a universal right, becomes a privilege.

Our Solution

At the same time, thousands of families in Jaipur have sports equipment sitting unused — gathering dust in cupboards, long outgrown, or simply forgotten.

KhelSetu creates a circular economy for sports gear. We collect it, clean it, and give it — completely free — to the children who need it most.

“No child should be stopped from playing just because they cannot afford a bat.”

Who We Are

A Student Initiative Built With Purpose

KhelSetu is a student-led initiative based in Jaipur, India. We are a group of young people who believe that access to sport should not be determined by how much money a family has.

We are just getting started. Our first collection drive is being organised right here in Jaipur, and we are building the systems, networks, and community needed to make this a lasting movement.

Every step we take is student-driven — the idea, the execution, the outreach, and the redistribution.

Based in Jaipur, India

Our first drives will run across schools and institutions in Jaipur.

🎓

100% Student-Led

Every role is handled by student volunteers.

What We Stand For

Our Values

Empathy

We see the child who cannot play, not just the equipment that is not being used.

Impact-First

Every decision we make is measured by real impact on real children, not optics.

Transparency

We share exactly what happens to every item donated — no black boxes, ever.

Urgency

Children's growth windows are short. We move fast because the need is right now.
