Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu officially launched the ambitious scheme at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. The vice president appreciated,

We need to create good infrastructure for sports in all states and nurture talent from an early age. Barring cricket and hockey earlier, our success in sports is sporadic and more a result of individual effort and excellence rather than any state patronage and encouragement. That must change. There is no dearth of talent in our country, especially with more than 450 million youth. We are overflowing with talent but in order to harness it, we have to put in place a robust system to spot and nurture talent and develop world champions.

In the words of our Prime minister, Mr. Modi, “The nation has immense sporting talent and to harness this potential the portal was launched. It would provide “essential direction and support to youngsters to pursue their sporting aspirations. Sports are about physical fitness, mental alertness and personality enhancement.” Former Sports Minister Vijay Goel added, “There will be transparency in this portal and we will get more talented children through this portal.” The Scheme will facilitate the development of Indian sports, particularly rural sports. The scheme expects to cover all schools for a period of five years. From 2015-16 to 2019-20 with 1000 scholarships of INR 5 lakh each.

For @imveer_rrr, everything about sports is an emotion and that's what keeps him coming back for more.
There have been times when my failure at something discouraged me from going back to it. But I’ve noticed that this doesn’t apply to me when it comes to sports.
