Jharkhand State Sports Promotion Society (JSSPS) will soon start training for five sports, which include badminton, table tennis, lawn tennis, judo and gymnastics. Currently training for 10 sports is being given. Preparations for training for the new games have been completed. A 300-bed hostel will also be built here for the cadets, which will be equipped with modern facilities. It is estimated that Rs 25 to 30 crore will be spent on this. This amount will be spent by CCL, CCL and the state government jointly run this institute.
Speaking to media persons JSSPS CEO GK Singh Rathor informed that the output that was expected from the society has not been achieved. There were some policy reasons for this. Now, preparations are being made to change the policies. Policies have been prepared. In this, along with the appointment of coaches, there is also the matter of keeping cadets in the institution. This will be placed in the Executive Council meeting of the Society. Council meeting will be held soon. After this, the process of selection of qualified and experienced coaches as well as qualified cadets will also be started in the institute.
Rathor said that this time the cooperation of many states and institutions has been taken for the policies made. Apart from the state government, related policies of SAI, SHARE, Tata Academy, Odisha have also been studied. An attempt has been made to include whatever is best in it. This academy was started in 2016 with 78 children. 437 children are getting training here now.
