Sports today is an integral part of the all round development of the human personality and achieving excellence in sports has great bearing on national prestige and morale. In order to meet the increasing demands of the changing scenario, national as well as international, Government has taken it upon itself to implement programs to promote excellence in sports. At the forefront of the efforts stand the Sports Authority of India (SAI) – the field arm of the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. Through its sports promotional schemes, SAI supports and nurtures talent in youth, and provides them with requisite infrastructure, equipment, coaching facilities and competition exposure. |
