  • Abstract:
  • ।।शरीरमाद्यं खलु धर्मसाधनम्।। -उपनिषद It means the body is the means to perform all duties. For keeping our body fit, Indian education system has done several transformations in its curriculum time to time. Starting from the pre independence to post independence era, there was a historical background of introduction of Physical Education in India, its development, its implementation and role in schools and colleges and its training courses and institutions as well. But we observed that it was not sufficient enough. We need to have some prominent specialized institutions in every regime of this country. Sports Universities in India has been started with similar sort of thoughts and objectives. In this paper authors are reviewing the development of such institutions throughout the country. We found that apart from Institutes and colleges in Physical Education in India, there exists a significant drift in the formation of Sports Universities. This will surely contribute in the development of Physical Education and Sports in India. This will also develop a sense of awareness towards individual fitness and ultimately contributes in the implementation of New Education Policy (NEP-2020) in its true meaning.
