Under his leadership, the Abhinav Krida Mandal and later the registered Abhinav Kala Krida Academy have nurtured over 250 players, many of whom have achieved national and international recognition. Established in 2015, the academy is committed to promoting Kabaddi and empowering rural talent through structured training and professional guidance.

Beyond sports, Mr. More envisions the Raje Chandrarav Kridanagari—a modern multi-sport complex in Ratnagiri—to provide world-class facilities for aspiring athletes.
Mission
His mission is driven by community spirit, excellence in sports, and creating lasting opportunities for the next generation.
