Delhi Sports University Admissions: Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia during a review meeting held on June 18 on the proposed Delhi Sports University said that the upcoming sports varsity will be a first of its kind in the country. The minister added, “Through Delhi Sports University, our vision is to train and prepare sportspersons who shall bring home 50 gold medals from the Olympics. The university will make India proud in the field of sports, globally. It will have world-class facilities and provide exceptional training to budding sportspersons.”
Talking about the uniqueness of the varsity in the world of sports, Sisodia said the institution will confer degrees up to the PhD level. “Till now, irrespective of the accolades they win in sports, sportspersons needed to choose another discipline to get an academic degree. Otherwise, applying for a job becomes difficult for them. Now, sportspersons will not need a degree in any other discipline. They shall be conferred degrees based on their sporting performance,” said Sisodia.
A team has been formed to formulate the course structures at different levels, after due consideration of various sports, said officials. “Delhi government is committed to making sports training and education multidimensional so that sportspersons have varied employment opportunities. It will also provide a boost to people’s health and wellbeing,” the officials further said.
Minister states that the aim behind introducing Delhi Sports University is to release graduates in various sports fields. The minister added that the University will relieve the sportspersons from the struggle of getting a degree in other disciplines. They shall be conferred degrees based on their sporting performance, said Delhi’s education minister.
