CISF Proposes First Southern Regional Sports Excellence Centre

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) plans to launch its inaugural specialized Centre of Excellence in Tamil Nadu's Thakkolam, dedicated to advancing sports infrastructure, particularly in badminton, fencing, cycling, and tennis. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote excellence in sports across the southern region of India.

Announced by CISF Director General Praveer Ranjan during a passing-out ceremony at Deoli RTC, the new centre aims to provide world-class training facilities. This strategic move supports the Ministry of Home Affairs' mandate to strengthen sports participation and facilities, facilitating wider engagement in competitive sports.

The program aligns with national goals to identify and nurture athletic talent, enhancing long-term ambitions in sporting achievements. Of the latest cohort of 324 newly trained sports personnel, a significant number have already claimed medals at international and national levels, demonstrating the potential impact of enhanced training infrastructure.
