When SUMPOORNA set out to promote Basketball in Distt. Tumkur - there were a host of problems, chiefly among them was the attitude that WHO PLAYS BASKETBALL? In such a scenario Mrs Elizabeth Thomas, Principal, Bishop Sargant institutions' had a clear vision - I WANT MY SCHOOL CHILDREN TO PLAY BASKETBALL.
And she set out earnestly to arrange for the best basketball court; encouraged the children to attend basktball camps at SUMPOORNA campus.
More than FORTY TEAMS will participate in this tournament - a fitting tribute to Mrs Thomas's vision. THANK YOU MADAM!

NBA IN INDIA - IN BANGALORE - WHITHER TUMKUR
There is great news - NBA icons are lining up to train Indian Basketball players. A special camp at Bangalore will probably help all those who know `such' a camp is going on. Of course, other than Bangalore players none others will be able to `leave' their daily routines and hence will be deprived of this opportunity. BUT IT IS HAPPENING - THE INDIAN GIANT IS SLOWLY STIRRING - NOT INSPITE OF BUT DESPITE the efforts of many to hold on to their fiefdoms.
Week after week I drive down to SUMPOORNA at TUMKUR with a bunch of motley crowd who drink, eat and sleep basketball. Their passion for playing is enormous - this grass-root promotion is perhaps a first genuine attempt to promote the game of basketball for those who donot have the OPPORTUNITY.
WILL NBA COME TO TUMKUR? OR BETTER STILL WILL A SUMPOORNITE ONE DAY BECOME A NBA PLAYER! The answer will come up within the next two decades.
