In her capacity as the Chairperson of Ultimate Table Tennis, she has been reshaping the landscape of the sport, ensuring accessibility across all segments of society, and orchestrating multiple tournaments spanning 25 states in India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI would like to begin by thanking the ITTF Foundation for this honour. It is a great feeling to be inducted into an organisation that aligns perfectly with my vision for the growth of table tennis and its impact on the community. Sport in general is a great connector, a teacher and an equaliser. And table tennis is a sport that anybody can play. It has great mental and physical benefits and our aim is to spread that message and make the game accessible to everyone,\u201d commented Vita Dani.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Founded by the International Table Tennis Federation in 2018, ITTF Foundation aims to use the characteristics of Table Tennis to foster development through the sport; attracting more people to play, while working with them on topics linked with the UN Sustainable Development Goals to improve their daily life. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
It champions the belief that table tennis is a universal sport that is capable of appealing to individuals of all ages, regardless of gender, cultural background, social status or physical capabilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI am delighted to welcome Ms Vita Dani to the ITTF family as a new member of the ITTF Foundation Governing Board. Her passion for growing our sport and using it as a catalyst for development makes her a valuable member. Her dedication to sport is truly commendable. We are confident that her contributions to our sport and her steadfast commitment to the ITTF Foundation will yield a profoundly positive impact,\u201d said Petra Sorling, President, ITTF and ITTF Foundation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As the founder of the Dani Foundation, headquartered in Mumbai, Dani has consistently endeavoured to effect meaningful change through her initiatives in sports and philanthropy.
