Sharing his thoughts,?Kartikeya said,?Sports unites India like no other activity. ASSIST promotes Basketball, a sport we are crazy about and one which is popular among Generation Z. Through Basketball, we wish to unite all strata of Indian society. ASSIST offers free Basketball training for marginalized students to create and develop the link between leadership, gender equity, character, teamwork, and communication with academic success and creating hope in their classrooms, communities and families.?

About ASSIST:
ASSIST started its journey around 3 Years ago at the home of Kartikeya Goel Founder, when he decided to teach basketball to five less privileged children growing up in the harsh corner of his neighbourhood. Over a span of several months, Kartikeya was amazed to see how playing basketball on a regular basis improved the physical and mental development of these children?they grew sharper in their movements and reading of the game. Inspired by the positive impact of playing basketball in children he then convinced his friend Paarth to join him. ASSIST provides underprivileged and special children with basketball training, while inculcating in them life skills that the game teaches. Ultimately, the aim is to enable these children to learn life skills such as discipline, teamwork, leadership and perseverance. Currently, ASSIST runs three School Chapters - School of Hope: Tamanna Foundation, Tagore International School - EOK, and Cornerstone Foundation ? Greater Noida.
