In this blog post, I cover the Day 2 of the 3rd PNB MetLife Junior Badminton Championship (JBC 3), which is currently underway at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, New Delhi, from July 26 to July 28, 2017. The annual sports event is sponsored by PNB MetLife, one of India's leading life insurance companies and organized by SARA Foundation, an organization for the promotion of Sports, Education and Culture (SEC) globally.
Three years ago, PNB MetLife strengthened its proposition 'physical fitness is equal to fiscal fitness' under the umbrella brand of 'Play for Happiness' with the launch of initiatives like PNB MetLife Junior Badminton Championship.
IMHO this was a great initiative from PNB MetLife to start something huge at a grassroots level. When a large corporate shows an active interest in sports and comes forward in an endeavor to transform the junior badminton players of our country into champions, it automatically sets a precedent and encourages others to follow in their footsteps.

This action-packed tournament brings forth the company's ambition to promote India's second most popular sport among the 9 to 17-year-old players. JBC 3 allows young and aspiring talent to grow and develop into leading Badminton stars of tomorrow.
