These hostels will benefit talented athletes directly by creating a conducive eco-system through focused training under national level Coaches. The project will be completed by 2023 for which CIL has already released Rs. 25 crores. This particular support from CIL also meets the purpose spelt out under “Khelo India” Scheme of Govt of India.
