Sports varsity may become a reality

Updated on: Monday, October 11, 2010

Plans for India’s first central sports university, near Ranchi, have been submitted to the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry. Some of the suggestions included in the plan are opening Kendriya Vidyalayas near the proposed sports university to build greater linkages with schools. This would help in identifying talented students and provide them training from a young age for careers in sports. The varsity will have an academic structure that will include a combination of curricular programmes in subjects such as sports management, sports medicine, sports psychology, etc.
