Indian Sports are perpetually plagued with resource crunch, seriously compromising prospects of even the most promising of its sporting talent. From 1986 to 2000, the Foundation ran some special schemes under which deserving Indian sportspersons were trained to excel at international events. These schemes brought in rich rewards.

In 1986 the Foundation launched a scheme to reward and encourage Indian medal winners at international games and began adopting for six to eight years, budding sportspersons, and sponsoring established sportspersons. Under this scheme from 1986 to 2000 fifty stipends were awarded.

From 1993 to 2000 Foundation established and operated a tennis training facility in collaboration with the All India Lawn Tennis Association, in New Delhi. This training facility helped up-grade the skills of a number of budding tennis players who subsequently made a mark at national and international levels.

From 1992 to 2000 Foundation encouraged promising Indian women weight-lifters and contributed substantially to their training. Foundation was the first to identify their potential to excel in International sporting events. By 1999 these women weightlifters had brought India rich rewards

So far there have been more than 300 beneficiaries of the Foundation’s sports programme. Some notable among these to have won international acclaim are PT Usha, Malleshwari, Anjali Bhagwat, Suma Shirur, Deepali Deshpande.
