Description

Project Mahadeva is a state-wide youth football talent hunt and development scheme launched in Maharashtra. It is an ambitious grassroots football initiative aimed at reviving and strengthening the football ecosystem in the state. The program focuses on identifying talent at district and rural levels, providing scientific training, quality coaching, and structured competition. It seeks to bridge the gap between school-level football and professional leagues by creating a clear pathway for young players, emphasizing fitness, discipline, and modern football techniques. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the state School Education Department, Sports and Youth Welfare Department, Maharashtra Institute for Transformation (MITRA), Western India Football Association (WIFA), and Village Social Transformation Foundation (VSTF) to make the program functional at the grassroots level.
