Two girls studying at the MS Jamoniya Tank Schhol, near Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, India, are preparing a welcoming Hindu 'rangoli' in the early hours of the morning, in front of the Jamoniya Tank Girls Hostel, where the Unicef India Sport For Development Project has started in 2012. Covering 313 state-run girls’ hostels and 207 mixed hostels in Madhya Pradesh, the project ensures that children from Scheduled Tribes (ST) and others amongst the poorest people in India, can easily access education and be introduced to sports. Field workers from Unicef also oversee their nutrition and monitor the overall conditions of each pupil.
