At the heart of this change is the Khelo India Centre in Rajouri Sports Stadium, where children from 8 to 18 years receive elite boxing coaching. Professional trainers ensure every session builds technique, stamina, and mental fortitude, turning raw potential into polished prowess.

Speaking exclusively, trainee Mohammad Toaid Khan beamed, ‘Our coaches provide exceptional guidance. PM Modi’s initiative has given us a world-class arena to battle and grow.’

National gold medalist Mohammad Yasir, training since the centre’s 2022 inception, added, ‘This platform propelled me to victory in 2025. My heartfelt thanks to the coaches and the centre.’

Social media footage reveals the centre’s vibrancy: young boxers in action, sweating it out with precision under watchful eyes. Their ambition? To hoist India’s flag high at international events, starting from Olympics aspirations.

The Khelo India scheme’s role cannot be overstated—it’s not just building facilities but igniting dreams in remote areas. Rajouri’s rising stars are a testament to how targeted policies can unearth and nurture sporting gems, setting the stage for a brighter future in Indian boxing.
