As per the reports by The Hindu, Mr Prasun has been quoted as saying, “Though we appreciate National Education Policy, National Sports academy needs serious care. In fact, there is no coordination the Sports Committees around our nation. Also, there is no proper scheme to appreciate different sports in our country and it is due to lack of awareness among the policymakers”.
