State-owned power giant NTPC has approved a Rs 13.28‑crore project to establish an archery academy in Mizoram, aiming to boost the sport’s development in the northeast.
NTPC, the central public sector undertaking, will allocate Rs 13.28 crore to build an archery academy in the northeastern state of Mizoram. The project is part of the company's initiative to support sports infrastructure in the region.
The academy is expected to provide modern training facilities, equipment and coaching for aspiring archers, thereby creating a talent pipeline for national and international competitions.
Officials said the centre will be operational within the next year, and will serve both local athletes and those from neighboring states, helping to raise the profile of archery in the northeast.
The move aligns with broader efforts by corporate and government bodies to promote sports participation and nurture talent across India.
