The master blaster has been actively involved in various noble intiatives.
Sachin Tendulkar, the former Indian great and the current Rajya Sabha Minister of Parliament, has come out and hailed the government of India scheme Samagra Shiksha, under which the Centre will give government schools grants for buying sports equipment.
For the noble initiative where the promotion of sports at the school level is the aim, every government primary school will receive sports equipment at a cost of Rs 5,000, upper primary school Rs 10,000 and secondary and senior secondary school Rs 25,000.
