Government Backing and Strategic Investments
The Indian government’s involvement has been critical in these developments. Through initiatives like the Khelo India Scheme, which focuses on grassroots sports infrastructure, the government is fostering an environment that supports elite athletes and encourages young talent to pursue tennis professionally. The Sports Authority of India (SAI) has been instrumental in funding and overseeing these infrastructural projects, ensuring they meet the requirements set by the International Tennis Federation (ITF).
As part of the commitment to the sport, the Khelo India Youth Games has been a launchpad for identifying and nurturing the next generation of tennis players, helping them transition into professional tennis. (pib.gov.in)
