The Jain International Trade Organization (JITO), a worldwide organisation, set with an objective to achieve socio-economic empowerment for the Jain community and society at large, organised the first-ever JITO national games in Ahmedabad, on Feb 13-14, 2016. The entire event was conducted at Adani Shantigram – an integrated township spread over more than 600 acres. Ahmedabad-based Zion Unlimited managed the event that saw a confluence of top competitors from the organisation’s local chapters in 18 different cities and towns of India, including Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Coimbatore, Bhilwara, Pune, Nashik, Jalgaun etc. 

 As many as 475 participants, each of them who were winners of their local chapters, competed across 5 different disciplines - Lawn Tennis, Badminton, Table Tennis, Chess, and Swimming. Apart from the sporting competitions, the national games saw an inspiring inaugural session kick-starting the event with a symbolic torch ceremony, and a flag-march along with the trumpet band to recognize each of the 18 cities participating in the event. 

Zion Unlimited won the pitch owing to its credible record and experience of having worked with JITO and other leading associations. They attribute their success to the understanding of how trusts and associations function, and the limitations within which they have to work. Zion impressed the JITO leadership with 3D design projections and innovative ideas to keep the sportsmen engaged.

In order to provide an educational value to the upcoming sportsmen, Zion Unlimited proposed to organise two exclusive learning sessions. In the first session - Ryan Fernando, an Award winning celebrity Sports Nutritionist, spoke on the need and importance of the right kind of diet and answered questions from audience. The second session was conducted by Dr. Aalap Shah, one of the most-sought after physiotherapist of India, on foot assessment and injury management.

To help sportsmen and the coordinators relax – a special JITO carnival zone was designed where participants were made to play a range of team-work games as well as fitness workouts like Zumba, Bokwa, and Aerobics along with Bollywood numbers. Also, an exclusive food lounge was created, offering a selection of street-side Gujarati food in order to give participants a taste of authentic Gujarati cuisine.

JITO National Games saw mammoth logistical requirements including more than 90 officials and referees for the games, lodging, boarding and local transportation, sports equipment, participants’ kits, ambulance, physiotherapists, celebrity speakers, gifts, certificates, and trophies. Since it was a first of it’s kind event, it was necessary to raise the finest branding properties - an imposing gate at the entrance, a royal red carpet and branding by its side was set up. Smart cut-outs, marked sit-out areas, thematic chair layout based on colours of JITO and stylish T-shirts for the organising committee helped convey the loud message subtly. 

Commenting on the successful completion of the event Rajesh Ravani, Founder of Zion Unlimited said, “It was a challenging job considering the logistics involved. But, I am glad that we could execute it flawlessly. The key was to plan in advance and deploy a solid team. What was important for us was to deliver an experience to every participant. And therefore we came up with this concept of JITO Carnival Zone and Food Lounge which remained the highlight and helped distinguish the event from other conventional corporate tourneys that we regularly organize.”

Organised by the Jain International Trade Organization, the event saw a confluence of top competitors from their local chapters in 18 different cities and towns of India.
