Hyderabad, Aug 1 (NationPress) Telangana is poised for a significant advancement in Indian sports with the unveiling of its Sports Policy 2025 during the state’s inaugural Sports Conclave. This pivotal event will be graced by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Minister for Sports Vakiti Srihari, and Chairman of the Sports Authority of Telangana Shivasena Reddy, taking place on Saturday.

The state will also host its first Sports Conclave, featuring luminaries such as Pullela Gopichand, Abhinav Bindra, Gagan Narang, and Anju Bobby George. This gathering will unite prominent sports administrators and CSR leaders from esteemed organizations, establishing a dynamic platform to influence the future of sports in Telangana.

This landmark occasion will bring together influential policymakers, celebrated athletes, coaches, and industry stakeholders to define the next chapter of sporting excellence in the state. With a strong emphasis on grassroots development, athlete welfare, inclusivity, and world-class facilities, the policy aims to position Telangana as a formidable force in Indian sports, paving the way for Olympic success.

During the event, several strategic MoUs will be signed with leading corporates involved in sports, global organizations like FIFA, and prominent sports figures. Their partnership with the Telangana government signifies a robust endorsement of this transformative policy, combining expertise, investment, and influence to elevate the sporting landscape in the state.

Telangana is elevating its commitment with unprecedented rewards, long-term institutional backing, and a profound focus on inclusivity. The Sports Policy 2025 is meticulously crafted to nurture champions, transcending mere accolades to foster a statewide transformation that enhances infrastructure and provides world-class training facilities in every district, effectively closing the urban-rural divide.

In anticipation of the policy launch, the state’s sports minister Srihari remarked, "This is Telangana’s commitment to lead India’s sporting narrative. Our vision is to cultivate an ecosystem where every child — from the tiniest village to the biggest city — can aspire to be a champion.

"By investing in grassroots infrastructure, empowering para-athletes and women athletes, and honoring excellence at the highest levels, we aspire to create not only medalists but also role models who inspire future generations. For us, sports extend beyond podiums — it embodies health, inclusivity, opportunities, and a collective sense of pride for every citizen of Telangana."

To enhance academic and professional development, the state plans to establish a major sports university. This proposed institution in Hyderabad will serve as a focal point for elite athlete training, sports science, and research, including specialized programs for para-sports.

Complementing the sports university will be a dedicated sports academy, led by a national or international sports integrator. This academy will focus on talent identification across 14 priority sports, conduct high-performance training camps, and organize global tournaments, while a new sports development fund will ensure transparent and sustainable financing.
