National Sports Talent Contest

Introduction

National Sports Talent Contest, (NSTC) Scheme is being implemented to scout sports talent in the age group of 8-14 years from schools and nurture them into future medal hopes by providing scientific training.

Objectives

Under the Scheme, schools having good sports infrastructure and record of creditable sports performances are adopted by SAI. The Scheme enables the budding sportsperson to study and play in the same school. In addition to the main scheme of NSTC (launched 1985) wherein regular schools are adopted, a few distinct sub-schemes were launched to further reach out to sports talent in India, even those participating in indigenous sports and games. These sub-schemes of NSTC include

Regular Schools

Akharas

Facilities provided

Presently under the Scheme, selected trainees are admitted on non-residential basis. However as an exceptional case the trainees have been admitted in two schools on a residential basis and they are provided boarding & lodging facilities instead of stipend.

At present there are 10 Regular adopted schools, 10 schools adopted to promote indigenous games/ martial arts and 49 adopted Akharas

There are total of more than 1000 Trainees under the NSTC Scheme.
