The participation of sportspersons in international sports tournaments, increasing use of science and modern technology in the field of sports is reflected in the sports policy of every nation. The government of India announced its sports policy in 2001. The main objectives of this policy include taking sports to all parts of India, to help the players to develop special skills, to build supportive and fundamental sports facilities, to help National Sports Federation of India and associated institutions and search for sports talent, to initiate cooperation from industries, corporate and private institutions for the cause of sports, to create awareness of the importance of sports and interest in sports, among people.
In 2011, the Government of India announced a scheme named ‘Come and Play’. Through this scheme, five sports complexes in Delhi under ‘Sports Authority of India (SAI)’ were made available to local youth. They were also provided with an opportunity to train under SAI coaches. The next step of the efforts of developing sports was the founding of the National Sports University, at Manipur in 2018. The courses include Bachelor and Master’s, M. Phil, and Ph.D. courses in sports education, sports management, sports psychology, coaching, etc. Research in sports is also encouraged.
