A new court. A renewed spirit. A legacy that continues to grow. 🏸

A proud moment for Arya Krida Mandal as our newly renovated International-Level Wooden Badminton Court was inaugurated by Shri. Ashok Sakpal, Vice President, Arya Krida Mandal.

As we approach our Centenary Year in 2027, this is more than just the inauguration of a renovated sporting facility. It is a celebration of everything that came before us — the people, players, mentors, members and generations who have shaped the identity of Arya Krida Mandal.

And it is equally a celebration of everything that lies ahead.

The floor may be new.
The generations may change.
But the love for sport remains timeless.

From legacy to the next generation — AKM is ready for its next chapter.

1927 → 2027
99 years of legacy. One year away from 100.

Here’s to more rallies, more memories and many more champions.

Onwards to 100. 🏸
