In order to boost the values of team spirit, sportsmanship and camaraderie, The Government of India assigned Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports to setup a centralized sports complex that collaborates with the best recruiters and combines to form an international brand with the best athletes. This idea gave birth to Sports Authority of India in 1984. It has 7 regional offices and 2 sub locations for various athletes. Various promotional schemes and scholarships are provided to SAI candidates.
