ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF YOUTH AFFAIRS AND SPORTS

 [SHRI ANURAG SINGH THAKUR]
(a) to (c) There is no such scheme, namely the National Sports Talent Search Scheme (NSTSS), under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. However, the Ministry implements another Sports promotional scheme viz. the National Sports Talent Contest (NSTC) through the Sports Authority of India (SAI) to scout sports talent in the age group of 8-14 years from schools and nurture them into future medal hopes by providing scientific training.
 
Under the Scheme, schools having good sports infrastructure and record of creditable sports performances are adopted by SAI. The Scheme enables the budding sportspersons to study and play in the same school. In addition to the main scheme of NSTC (launched in 1985) wherein regular schools are adopted, a few distinct sub-schemes were launched to further reach out to sports talent in India, including indigenous sports and games. These sub-schemes of NSTC include:
  • (i) Regular Schools;
  • (ii) Indigenous Games & Martial Arts (IGMA);
  • (iii) Akharas.
Selection Criteria for induction under NSTC Scheme:
  • a. Talents, who are medal winners in State/National Level Competitions are admitted into the scheme, subject, to their being found medically fit.
  • b. Talents who are medal winners at District Level Competition or have participation in State Level Competitions are admitted subject to their being found fit medically and physically.
  • c. The scouting of the talent in indigenous games is done on the basis of open competitions among participants. Selection is done by a selection committee consisting of representatives of SAI, Institutions, SAI coaches, guru/mentor of the concerned game. The sportspersons identified on this basis are offered admission after age verification, medical examination, etc.
The details pertaining to the State of Assam in respect of the National Sports Talent Contest (NSTC) Scheme are at Annexure.
