In a remarkable achievement for Indian academia, Prof. (Dr.) Devendra Arora has become the first Indian academician to be awarded a copyright for Curriculum ” B.Tech in Sports Technology ” by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, wide license number – 30201/2022-CO/L
This landmark recognition marks a new era in sports education, innovation, and youth employment in India.
The copyrighted program, designed by Dr. Arora and his team, is being hailed as a game-changer for the Indian education ecosystem. It is a purely employable, industry-relevant curriculum that seamlessly integrates with existing institutional and university infrastructure. From Mechanical, Civil, CAD, Electronics, Electrical, IoT, and Telecommunication labs to Incubation and Innovation Cells, every resource within higher education institutions can now be leveraged to support and deliver this transformative program.
Experts believe this initiative will bridge the gap between education and employment. With the rapid growth of Indian sports leagues, global sports events and the sports manufacturing industry, India is witnessing an unprecedented demand for skilled professionals in the sports sector. Dr. Arora’s program is set to create vast career opportunities for millions of Indian youth, especially those passionate about sports but unable to pursue athletic careers due to unavoidable circumstances.
Furthermore, this initiative is expected to revitalize underutilized university infrastructure, acting as a lifeline — or “oxygen” — for many institutions that seek new-age, career-oriented programs to stay relevant in a competitive academic landscape.
The vision, summarized by the motto “Khelega India, Khilega India”, reflects a broader national ambition — to make India a global hub for sports education, technology, and industry. The Sports University Association of India has also expressed interest in collaborating on this pioneering project, which could set new standards for academic-industry partnerships in the coming years.
