This is what Indian Government if doing to boost sports between students

The Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Youth Affairs and Sports Sarbananda Sonowal has said that every year, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) , in its 56 SAI Training Centres (STCs) and 19 Special Area Games (SAG) Centres, have weeding out and enrolment programme. Apart from medal winners at State and National levels, who get direct entry, winners at District level and other talented athletes are allowed to compete in selection trial camps for identification and selection of trainees.

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today Sonowal said, the Government assists the National Sports Federations (NSFs) for preparation and participation of Indian athletes in international sports events.
