Kalaignar M KARUNANIDHI banned hand-pulled rickshaws in 1969 and promoted Cycle Rickshaws by saying that Every Man is Born Equal. To celebrate his birth century (3-6-2023 to 3-6-2024) and to commemorate his revolutionary decision that changed the lives of many commoners, we plan to introduce SPORTY CYCLE RICKSHAWS (lightweight, with gear & sporty look) and RICKSHAW RACING LEAGUE (RRL), a new sports event. These initiatives will save the cycle rickshaws from extinction and enhance the quality of work and lives of existing rickshaw walas. It will be a good example of how SPORTS CAN CHANGE LIVES.
