It aims to the development of boxing in the state by imparting training of international standards and providing necessary opportunities for children to excel in the mainstream sporting arena. Developing boxing skills in the children and providing them an opportunity to play at a higher level will be prioritized along with imparting self-defense abilities to girls through scientific physical training.
The execution of the project will be done through the guidance of a team of experts who will identify talented children through careful scrutiny at selection trials. Intensive training sessions will be conducted under qualified boxing coaches and trainers and conduct periodical refresher courses for their trainers, and update them on current scientific training techniques prevalent in boxing academies around the world. The scheme will be implemented in the state by them as desired by the Government. Monitoring committees will be formed at the school, district, and state levels for the effective monitoring and evaluation of the project. Training centers will be set in one school each in 5 districts across the state. Training shall be provided to 25 girls in each center.
