India can do wonders in sports if our young sports talents are recognized and supported at the grass root level and supporting pillars of their performances – coaches, training clubs and educational institutes are given the due credits. In this direction, Gamatics India Pvt Ltd in association with NSRCEL – IIM Bangalore and KHEL Foundation have started an initiative called STEPP (Sports Talent Exploration and Promotion Program).
The pilot project is STEPP-Karnataka (http://gamatics.in/stepp/) focusing on talents in Karnataka. Under this initiative, more than 3500 applications were received across all age, gender, sports, and geography. 3 months of intensive analytics was done to identify the top 200+ sports talents, 50+ coaches, 50+ clubs and 40+ educational institutes.
Talents recognized from Belagavi:
Rijul Patil, Sunidhi Halkare, Anumati Chougule (Love Dale Central School), Arya Doddannavar, Mandar Desurkar (KLE International school)
