“A game does not change a nation but the spirit behind it can.” Eryndor Vale
Tchoukball is not merely a sport it is a visionary movement born from Dr. Hermann Brandt’s belief that games should uplift human values, not erode them. Embracing intelligence over aggression, it has found its way into the hearts of athletes across continents. Today, Tchoukball flourishes in over eighty nations, lauded for its strategic depth and ethical foundation.
As President of the Indian Tchoukball Federation and Additional Director General of Police, I have had the honour of helping promote this transformative game. The synergy between my roles has ofered a rare opportunity to support initiatives that combine fair play, discipline and the empowerment of youth-a responsibility I consider deeply purposeful.
Through national camps, international participation and grassroots promotion, Tchoukball is redefining how sport can shape minds and communities. Its brilliance lies in promoting cooperation over conflict, strategy over strength. It invites players to think, connect and play with intent-making it not just a game but a philosophy in action.
We are pretty sure that this budding game in India will flourish and we would be successful in shaping the youth.
