Delhi Sports School has also cooperated with international institutions, with trainers from universities throughout the world providing training to children. This school will have training facilities for ten Olympic sports.

She said, “Education and sports have always been considered separately and sports were considered as just an option. This is the reason why, despite having such a large population, we lag behind in the medal tally at the Olympics. Our government is working to change this perception and trying to create an environment through Delhi Sports University and Delhi Sports School where the athletes’ sport is their education, and every citizen of the country can proudly say that sports are also a form of education.”
