E Prasad Rao said, “Kabaddi is not just a sport, it is our culture and identity. What once began as a humble village game has grown into a global spectacle because of the Pro Kabaddi League.”

“From beaches to indoor arenas, from the Asian Games to the world stage, the sport has undergone a complete transformation — and I believe the day is not far when India will win its first Olympic gold medal in kabaddi,” he added. “If you want to be a crorepati, join the Pro Kabaddi League!”

Fans and members of GITAM’s kabaddi club also engaged directly with the players, asking questions, learning about life as professional athletes, and sharing their passion for the game.

Telugu Titans skipper Vijay Malik said, “I come from a small village, and kabaddi has transformed my life. People not only in India but also around the world know us kabaddi players because of this sport.”

Adding to the excitement, the programme featured fun games and a quiz session with the players, leaving students with unforgettable memories. The initiative reinforced PKL’s commitment to bringing fans closer to the sport and encouraging the next generation of kabaddi enthusiasts to pursue their passion both on and off the mat.
