Rajasthan Partners with Borussia Dortmund to Empower Women Through Football

The Rajasthan government, in line with its commitment to women’s empowerment through sports, has signed a collaboration with Borussia Dortmund, a leading German football club. This partnership, born from the Chief Minister’s recent visit to Germany, aims to train young female footballers in Rajasthan, building upon the state’s junior girls’ team’s recent victory in the National Football Championship. Borussia Dortmund will conduct training programs, select a talented player for a week-long training stint in Germany, and provide specialized workshops for aspiring female athletes. The collaboration also includes support from the DFB-Pokal, Germany’s national football association, and Dwarka Gems Ltd., which has launched a football-inspired jewelry line with a portion of proceeds dedicated to supporting women’s football in Rajasthan. This initiative signifies a significant step towards promoting women’s empowerment and rural development in the state through the power of sports.
