Hyderabad, 26 April, 2007: The 40-day long second edition
of the CIFA-Thums Up Rural Games extravaganza organized by
Consortium of Indian Farmers Associations (CIFA) and Hindustan
Coca-Cola
Beverages will kick off at the Fateh Maidan in Lal Bahadur
Stadium with a colourful painting contest for school children
here on Saturday.
The contest will be open for children below 15 years, with
children expressing their thoughts and sentiments on rural
ambience in canvass. Winners of the contest
in different age groups will bag cash prizes and certificates
from the organizers of the CIFA-Thums Up Rural Games.
The Rural Games will start in Hyderabad on April 28 and
will move over to 19 other locations in the next 40 days
before culminating with a grand finale on the first week
of June.
The Rural Games is a unique experience being brought to
the rural communities of the Andhra Pradesh by CIFA and Coca-Cola,
the official sponsors of Olympics and FIFA football, with
grand
plans
to extend it to neighboring states of Karnakata and Maharashtra
from this year. The Games is being organized across Andhra
Pradesh as part of Hindustan Coca-Cola’s Corporate
Social Responsibility programme and it is the only such event
of its kind anywhere in the country.
The Games when covered 19 centres in 14 districts across
the state last year had evoked an enthusiastic response from
rural communities with over 25,000 people cheering players
in keenly contested matches. It is expected to attract many
times more number of people this year.
