Vijayawada: In a landmark collaboration, the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Department has partnered with India Khelo Football (IKF) to launch the “Tyger IKF Scout on Wheels” initiative—a 45-day football roadshow aimed at discovering grassroots talent and empowering communities across the State. Under the leadership of Amrapali Kata, Managing Director of Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC), the department will facilitate the entire tour, ensuring seamless logistical execution across seven major cities: Vizag, Rajahmundry, Sattenpalle, Vijayawada, Kurnool, Anantapur, and Tirupati. The initiative will also reach over 10 satellite towns, bringing football trials, clinics, parent workshops, and girls’ empowerment sessions directly to local communities. Amrapali said: “Tourism is not just about destinations, it is about celebrating the people and their stories. By supporting Scout on Wheels, we are endorsing a campaign that takes football, empowerment, and pride to every corner of Andhra Pradesh." She said "together, we will ‘Discover Andhra Through Football’ and present our state as one of opportunity, culture, and youth energy.”
