INTRODUCTION:

Sport is a key component of our nation's overall growth. India has grown gradually in the world of sport over the last few years. On a global forum, this tremendous capacity must be displayed. It is time for us to inspire young talents, give them the highest-quality infrastructure and training. We must reinforce a strong spirit of sports participation that enables the players to express their true potential. Only then will India fulfil a vision of being a super-powerful sports nation. Khelo India School Games is a part of the revamped National Programme for the development of sports, Khelo India. It aims at strengthening the ecosystem by promoting the twin objectives of mass participation and promotion of excellence in sports. The Khelo India School Games will act as an avenue for the identification of budding sports talent in specific disciplines. The ‘Khelo India – National Programme for Development of Sports’ was launched in October, 2017 with the aim to strengthen the entire sports ecosystem to promote the key objectives of the scheme is to spot talented athletes from across the country and nurture talent through guidance and developed infrastructural facilities. During this context, Khelo India has four objectives: Mass participation of the young population in sports through annual sports competitions; Identification of sporting talent; Nurturing of the talent; Creation of Sports infrastructure at various levels (Block, District, and State/UT Levels).

METHODOLOGY:

Total 60 players of Khelo India program are selected from two academies (NCOE Cycling academy Guwahati, NCOE weightlifting academy Itanagar) of north east region of India. The selected variable was Training and nurturing of talent under Khelo India program. Self-made questionnaire was used for data collection. The questionnaire consists of 48 items in which 12 items of the variable Training and Nurturing of talent are included in the questionnaire. The scoring was done on 5 point scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. It was hypothesized that there may be significant effect of Khelo India program on training and nurturing of talent in north east region of India. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and chi-square test. The data was analyzed at 0.05 levels of significance.

FINDINGS AND RESULTS:

The result pertaining to the selected aspects have been presented in table 1. In which SD- Strongly disagree, D- disagree, NAND- Neither agree nor disagree, A- agree, SA-strongly agree.
