Project Naari Shakti
By the girls | For the girls | Of the girls
Redefining access to football for girls across India.
Girls deserve more than opportunity. They deserve safe systems, trusted environments, and real pathways.
Overview
In five years, India Khelo Football (IKF) has scaled from 17 to 135+ cities and 2,000 to 20,000+ players.
Yet one gap remains clear: Girls' participation has not grown proportionately.
Not due to lack of talent — but due to lack of safe, trusted, and structured systems.
Project Naari Shakti is IKF's response.
This is not a campaign. It is a national structural intervention.
What is Project Naari Shakti?
A girls-exclusive platform built to ensure:
- Access without hesitation
- Participation without fear
- Opportunities beyond just playing
Built for girls, so girls can truly participate.
Our Approach
Girls-Only Ecosystem
Separate participation pathways where girls feel comfortable stepping in without hesitation.
100% Women-Led Execution
Women-led trials and operations to build trust, comfort, and relatability at every touchpoint.
Nationwide Access
At least one exclusive girls' trial in every state — ensuring no girl is left behind due to geography.
Safety First
A system designed around security, dignity, and parental trust at its core.
Beyond Football: IKF 360 Pathways
Every girl who steps in gets exposure to opportunities that go far beyond the pitch.

Coaching, scouting, sports analysis, operations, and more — inside the world of football.
Opportunities Beyond Playing
Exposure to roles and pathways that exist within and around football at every level.
Long-term Career Direction

Football becomes a doorway — not a gamble.
Why The Sixth Dimension
