• Creation of facilities and infrastructure for physical education and sports in each such identified DLSS.
• Establishment of high class facilities for sports training for young sportspersons such that they are accessible in each district.
• Efficient operations and management of the sports schools.
• Benchmarking with leading practices, nationally and internationally, for Sports Schools.
• Creation of modern facilities of national/international standards for select sports in select sports schools depending on identified development objectives.
