Proposed Project Model

[2] In tandem with the prime objective of defining sports as a viable career option, the Federation started establishing sports academies. In the meantime, it was realized that the timing of formal schools and coaching classes incorporated with the lack of resources are the major stumbling blocks. It is to this context in reaching the desirous goal of promoting professional sports amongst children. Considering the assessed scenario, a social model of development for sustainable growth is being proposed (model- 1) by the federation. SFI is ready to take a lead through opening Schools and thus imparting quality standards and professional sports training thereon. So far, three schools and one sports academy in rural India have already been set up and the training of around 1000 student is been done. Considering the socio-economic profile of targeted populace the facilities are kept almost free, in turn causing severe fund crisis to run the existing institutions and replicating a new one.

Concerns

The federation anyhow manages the affiliates so far by organizing different events related to adventure sporting, professional sporting, events of cultural significance as well as voluntary contributions. The federation has successfully established organizations i.e. Schools and sports academies, but in respect of the level of demand it is just a start and there is much potential envisage to take it to the larger scale. It is to this context to benefit those incumbents who are far behind in approaching such facilities. Otherwise they would be denied of making their dream come true. Considering the demand for affordable schools and sports facilities in rural and semi-urban areas where there is limited access to quality education and sports opportunities. It is ensured that the students in these institutions get sufficient opportunity to assess their talents and pursue them. Sports academies are run in conjunction with schools for professional training right from the very beginning. Apart from sports and education, developing other talents in the students is also among the concerns of the organization. Training and education of around 1000 student is being done in the institutions developed so far. Basis on above mentioned scenario following are the major concern emerges for the organization

# Quality Education

To maintain and run a sustainable development scheme or project, quality checks and assessments are found to be mandatory. Sustainability is solely dependent on the quality of output a system provides. Quality of education and training provided in the institutions run under or in association with the trust is vital, and has become the prime concern of the organization to achieve its goals.

# Professional Sports Training

Spots have been a successful career for many, but still there is a negative general perception of sports being a career. This may be because of lack of professional sports training in rural and under developed areas. Census 2011 has documented that the total population that lives in rural India, is 83.3 cr. that is 70% of the total Indian population. Further there are regions in urban India that has not yet been developed to its full extent and are termed semi urban regions. These underdeveloped regions do also host a large population. Such a vast scope of opportunity placed professional sports training amongst the prime concerns of the trust undisputedly.

# Fund raising

Expansion of the objectives of trust solely depends upon the procurement of fund. The trust anyhow managed the pilot projects by different means. For expansion and maximization of the reach of federation fund raising has proved to be a big challenge.

# Network Building and Knowledge Sharing

In pursuit of achieving its goals the federation found that sport trainers and educators often work individually and could not utilize their full potential. Due to lack of awareness regarding available opportunities and procedures many talents can’t find their way to success. This analysis gave way to the need of building support base network to help trainers, educators and trainees to move out to new places. This is to use the skills of trainers and educators to train potential talents on one hand and showcase the polished talents on the other.
