Having successfully conducted promotion of basketball in Tumkur Distt in the last three years - SUMPOORNA strives to provide similar facility to the whole state of Karnataka [from wherever the `call' comes].
YOU DONOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING! You are to provide for food and accomodation of the `TRAINERS' during the training `camp' period.
The following points are to be accepted if you want us to provide for training in your instituion:
1. Camps would be conducted for TWO or THREE DAYS maximum.
2. The official letter signed by physical education teachers and counter- signed by the head of the institution requesting for `camp'.
3. The trainees must be made available from 6am to 6pm - except for food and rest breaks.
4. Selection of the `trainees' should normally be done on the basis of `interest' of students. All children selected should be below 15 years.
5. Co-education training is provided wherever co-education exists.
6. A RE-VISIT CAMP would be provided after a minimum of three months - if needed.
SUMPOORNA provides the service in the interest of the nation as a patriotic duty - so a `code of conduct' will be followed by all trainees, players, volunteers and coaches.
CALL UP MAHAJAN ON 98860 20145 - and register your institution.

SUBHASH MAHAJAN - BASKETBALL - THE MAN FROM KAPURTHALA
After 56 years I suddenly understand why I am a basketball player, coach and promoter. I AM FROM KAPURTHALA - the nursery for basketball players of India - CAN ANY TOWN BOAST OF four Arjuna awardees in Basketball.
Can you believe that the first captain of Indian baskebtall team was from Kapurthala - NOW HOLD IT!
The first captain of Pakistan basketball team was ALSO FROM KAPURTHALA.
Its easy to ignore history - but it always repeats itself with a vengenance. As I lived the first nine years of my childhood [before being bundled off to
The Punjab Public School, Nabha] I think the genes of basketball were being sown in me by just being a Kapurthalaite. AND I CAPTAINED THE HOUSE TEAM when in ninth and CAPTAINED the school team when in tenth.
Now I have established SUMPOORNA BASKETBALL SCHOOL - sumpoorna [subhash mahajan son of Shri Puran Chand Gupta] - KAPURTHALA HAS REACHED BETTA SHAMBHUNAHALLI - an effort to rewrite the glorious history of basketball.
I think my new name should be SUBHASH MAHAJAN KAPURTHALIA -

TUMKUR BASKETBALL - SUMPOORNA CUP 2009!
Promoting the game of basketball is no more a difficult job. The hoop manaics are growing in number every day.
ANNOUNCE A TOURNAMENT AND EVERYONE PRETENDS TO BE THE N.B.A. MOST VALUABLE PLAYER!
But when 4th standard students call you up late in the night to inform that they also have a BASKETBALL TEAM - the promoter in me is delirious with delight. What next ? 3rd and 2nd standard students---we too want a tournament.
In all my years of teaching basketball I have strived to get younger and younger players to start off playing. The stirring of my soul speaks - A CHILD AT PLAY IS GOD AT WORK.
I hear small `negatives' - tests are there; ground permission is difficult; some promises have been belied - YET TUMKUR WILL HAVE ITS' TRYST WITH BASKETBALL - SUMPOORNA CUP 2009 is the answer to all those doubting thomases. When the going gets tough - the tough get going, whoever said this - had envisaged the paradox of person promoting sports in India.
TUMKUR SHALL HAVE ONE DAY A N.B.A.PLAYER! IS IT YOU?

SUMPOORNA - THE PILLOW - OUTSIDE WORLD - BED OF COBBLESTONES
What is it about SUMPOORNA that you brag about it so much? Friends ask me and I too wonder what is it ?
A poor man asked a rich man `what is so special' about soft mattresses, rich food, costly musical systems - why can't you find comfort in sleeping on floors - simple food and an ordinary radio.
The predicament is simple - SUMPOORNA is a dream actualised where wishes have become horses and WE CAN RIDE THEM! I realise this - the children who come here realise it - the `others' not only donot realise it - they cannot even imagine it.
I WISH AND I AM GRANTED THAT WISH - that is SUMPOORNA for me and the other sumpoornites. Sumpoorna is a place without care, where I can dare to dream, where peace and tranquility persist, where the bouncing basketball exhorts me to FOCUS - inspires me to a greatness that is within me. It alows me to REST AND RECHARGE myself for the unreasonable environment that I must return to.
SUMPOORNA is the pillow on which I rest my head as I try to sleep on the bed of cobblestones of the outside world.
