Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, has partnered with Brahmaputra Volleyball League (BVL) to light up 20 community volleyball courts in the rural districts of Assam in India. This project aims to support the growth and adoption of volleyball amongst rural communities in the state. The Brahmaputra Volleyball League (BVL) is a prominent grassroots volleyball league founded by Abhijit Bhattacharya, former captain of the Indian Volleyball team.
In 2022, BVL saw a surge in participation, with over 350 rural village teams participating. However, inadequate lighting hindered young athletes’ aspirations. Signify, through its Khel Jyoti CSR program, provided proper lighting to 20 grassroots centers, recognizing their potential. With advanced solutions, over 5,000 players can practice under professional illumination levels for national-level volleyball, empowering them to grow and excel in their sport.
This initiative promotes a healthier, more active lifestyle within these communities. Abhijit Bhattacharya, the visionary behind BVL, expressed his gratitude for Signify’s unwavering commitment to promoting sports in rural areas. He stated, “By improving the infrastructure for volleyball in rural areas, we hope to witness the rise of future volleyball champions and the growth of this beloved sport across Assam.”
