New Delhi: A bill to set up India’s first full fledged sports university of international standards was introduced in the Lok Sabha today.

The National Sports University Bill, 2017 will help set up the university in Manipur.

“A void exists in the sports environment of the country in various areas such as sports science, sports technology, high performance training,” the bill states.

The proposed university is expected to bridge this gap.
