RAHP has launched an U-19 rugby coaching and talent identification programme in the remote Lahaul valley. This coincides with Himachal Pradesh’s trial introduction of rugby in school games.
RAHP has begun an U-19 rugby coaching and talent identification initiative in Lahaul, a remote region of Himachal Pradesh. The programme aims to identify young players and introduce them to the sport.
This effort aligns with the state government's decision to include rugby in school games on a trial basis. Officials say the move is intended to expand sporting options for students in mountainous areas.
By bringing coaching to Lahaul, RAHP hopes to build a foundation for rugby in areas where access to such sports has been limited. The trial phase will assess interest and participation before any wider rollout.
