About the organization

Badminton as a sport in pune has special pride & mention as it originated from our historic city “POONA” in the 1870s. In fact initially the game was known as “The Poona Game” till the time its laws were formulated in England later it was named as Badminton.
The sport has grown leaps & bounds and is rightly said to be the second most popular game after cricket. Pune over the years have produced stalwarts who have dominated the State, National and International scene in their prime days; and the new generation continues to make us proud too. Poona District & Metropolitan Badminton Association (PDMBA) was founded and formed in 1946 by Late Prof. Shri. N. G. Suru, Late Prof. Shri. Mehendale, Late Shri. Makarand Bhave & Late Shri. V. V. Alias Dajisaheb Natu with a view to promote, propagate and control the game of Badminton in Pune District. We have always strived for the development of sport & invite more sports lovers to take to Badminton. We have set our goals by creating more awareness in schools of Pune district amongst youngsters to play Badminton. Our endeavor has always been – CATCH THEM YOUNG – Spotting talent at a young age, grooming them and making them champions.
