There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low literacy negatively impacts not just their lives but also their families' and the country's economic development. A girl's lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well-being of her children.

From Sachin Tendulkar

I have played for 15 years and it has been a dream.

From Sachin Tendulkar

I get 0.5 seconds to react to a ball, sometimes even less than that. I can't be thinking of what XYZ has said about me. I need to surrender myself to my natural instincts. My subconscious mind knows exactly what to do. It is trained to react. At home, my family doesn't discuss media coverage.

From Sachin Tendulkar

Before coming here I had a minor back problem and I thought whenever I play Pakistan I get a back problem.

From Sachin Tendulkar

I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.

From Sachin Tendulkar

Schools across India do not have teachers, libraries, playing grounds and even toilets. I do not want to see empty classrooms, empty libraries. I do not want to see cattle grazing on fields meant to be cricket or football grounds.

From Sachin Tendulkar

If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives, then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone, even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets.

From Sachin Tendulkar

My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.

From Sachin Tendulkar

Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.

From Sachin Tendulkar

Before you lay a foundation on the cricket field, there should be a solid foundation in your heart and you start building on that. After that as you start playing more and more matches, you learn how to score runs and how to take wickets.
