What are the Eklavya Selection Trials?
The Eklavya Selection Trials are a structured talent identification program designed to discover and nurture young athletes. It’s not just about selecting players—it’s about giving them access to professional training, facilities, and long-term support to help them grow into future champions.
Why is this important for athletes from Bihar?
Bihar has always had immense talent, but due to lack of infrastructure, guidance, and opportunities, many athletes couldn’t reach their full potential. However, in the last few years, things have started to change significantly.
Under the leadership of Shreyasi Singh, along with Ravindra Sankaran, Bihar’s sports ecosystem has seen a major transformation. From better facilities to more competitions and structured programs, athletes are finally getting the opportunities they deserve.
How will this shape the future of Bihar sports?
Initiatives like Eklavya Trials can create a massive impact:
- Discover hidden talent from rural and grassroots levels
- Provide free coaching, accommodation, and scholarships
- Give athletes exposure to higher-level competitions
- Build a clear pathway for a professional sports career
This is not just a trial — it’s a foundation for the future of Bihar sports.
If this momentum continues, Bihar can produce national and international champions in the coming years
