"It will have powers to conduct academic and training programmes in physical education and sports sciences, including sports technology, sports medicine, sports management, sports infrastructure engineering, sports psychology, sports nutrition, sports journalism and sports marketing," he had added.
Haryana lawmaker Anil Vij also manifested his determination to improve the standard of sports via this university.
"I want players to get ready in this sports university who will improve the standard of sports. Courses for sports science, sports nutrition, sports engineering, sports medicine, and sports journalism will be started here. I want this to become functional as soon as possible as there is a need for it in India," he said.
"For such thing, players have to go abroad and if such facilities will be provided here, in our University, then players will get all the facilities in India," Vij said.
