The YFC Rurka Kalan’s endeavor to revive football in the region got a new boost as NRIs donated them a 30 seater bus.

Mr Harminderpal Singh owner of Carolina Rail Hawks Football Club, U.S.A. has given the major share. Village NRIs Balbir Singh Sandhu(UK), Baljit Singh Sandhu(USA), Kulwinder Sing Sandhu (USA)and Gurchetan Singh(Canada) also contributed handsomely for buying the bus. In a decent function Mr. Avinash Rai Khanna Member Parliament dedicated the bus to the players of the Academy.
