The growing role of sports in society and the focus of media attention on sports performance all over the world and the boost this gives to national prestige has made winning of medals of great significance. In recognition of this fact, many countries have started setting up national training academic and specialised centres of sports excellence which offer all opportunities for experts for long years with the aid of modern training equipment.
 

With this view in mind, various public and private sector business organisations have been approached by the Department and SAI for setting up national and regional academies in specific sports disciplines to nurture and develop Indian talent. Various public sector undertakings/business houses have extended their help to set up such academies and many more are expected to come.
