I am very happy to know that establishment of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University in Patiala as a specialized sports university will give a big boost to sports in the state.

 I am confident that this university will succeed in promoting a strong sports culture in Punjab by applying scientific knowledge to practical coaching to enable talented sportspersons to excel at the international level. The University will also play an important role in promoting rural and traditional sports by identifying potential players from the villages of Punjab. The Sports University will provide students with quality education and prepare them for a professional career in sports.

I wish the university all the best in achieving its future goals in the field of sports.
