CII – Young Indians (Yi) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Join Forces for a Cause.

deccanwebtv Oct 5, 2023

 Chennai, October 5, 2023: Cricket is not just a game but an emotion for Indians.
Leveraging upon this fact, CII—Young Indians (Yi)—has set off on a glorious
journey to battle the pressing issue of child sexual abuse in India. Yesterday, the
organisation announced an exciting collaboration with the most prestigious and
successful IPL team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), for its upcoming Play for Cause
Game, Yi Masoom Cup 2023. The partnership, announced at the Tamil Nadu
Cricket Association (TNCA) in Chepauk, will see an exhibition league match
between the Yi National Team and CSK to raise awareness about child
abuse—physical and digital—and to serve to educate the public about the
Masoom vertical of Yi and its commitment to protecting children from the
damaging effects of sexual and other forms of abuse. 
The event witnessed the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Indian Premier
League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mr. Kasi Viswanathan, signing
the partnership with CII-Young Indians (Yi). Mr. Viswanathan has been an integral
part of team management ever since the inception of the league and the
franchise in 2008. The partnership ceremony was also graced by the gracious
presence of Dr. P. Ashok Sigamani, President, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association
(TNCA). There was a strong turnout of media professionals, sports enthusiasts,
and advocates for child protection at the event. During the press meet, key
representatives from the Young Indians and Chennai Super Kings shared insights
into the Masoom Cup initiative, its objectives, the impact it aims to create, and
their commitment to working together for a safer future for children. 
This significant partnership comes in the wake of rising physical and digital child
abuse cases. Chennai Super Kings, associating itself with Yi Masoom Vertical and
its cause, will surely open a colossal platform to eradicate the social taboo
attached to child sexual abuse among the team’s fans in India and abroad. The
team-up looks forward to enormous media hype and massive viewership,

attracting a diverse audience from all walks of life and garnering support for this
vital cause for children. 
Sharing his immense excitement about the partnership, Mr. Dilip Krishna, Yi
National Chairman, says, “An abused child is a lost citizen to our nation; securing
our children is our primary responsibility to build a strong future. This is the
grandest platform that the Masoom initiative can gain, and it gives me great pride
to be taking the right step towards spreading awareness about child abuse, both
physical and digital, with all stakeholders and what better way to engage all
stakeholders for the cause than sports, especially cricket” 
The Yi Masoom Cup, recently inaugurated by the star cricketer Bhubaneshwar
Kumar, is named after Young Indians’s Project Masoom. It aims to get more than
55 Yi chapter cricket teams across India to play and amplify the vertical across all
cultures, languages, and social biases to secure children’s futures. 
About Chennai Super Kings (CSK): Chennai Super Kings is one of the most
successful franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Beyond cricket, CSK
actively engages in community initiatives and partnerships to support various
social causes. 
About Masoom: The Yi Masoom Project aims to uproot child abuse, both physical
and digital, from society. It believes that an abused child is a lost citizen of the
nation, and it is the primary responsibility of adults to build a solid and secure
future for every child. Its principles are etched along the lines that “every child
matters in every corner of the country”. The project recently achieved the
Guinness Book of World Records on November 14, 2022.
