South Asia is a hotspot, with four nuclear and missile powers sharing borders. In order to promote peace-building
efforts, it is proposed to use sport diplomacy. Taking India-Pakistan conflict as an example, this paper proposes to
change the mindset of future generations by organizing regional summer camps for athletics, squash and cricket
with fifty percent of the time allocated to educating the players about culture, history and geography of the countries
in the region in addition to equipping participants with power skills. Growth-and-Obesity Vector- Roadmaps of all
players are generated as part of their comprehensive psychological and physical examinations combined with
fitness testing at the start and the end of summer camp along with posture and gait training.
