Bihar’s Eklavya Sports Trials Spark Dreams for Future Stars

Bihar’s Bold Step for Young Athletes

“This is more than a trial—it’s a chance to rewrite futures through sports.”

Bihar has launched the Eklavya State Residential Sports Training Centre trials, aiming to discover hidden talent among children aged 12 to 14 years. This initiative, part of the Mukhyamantri Khel Vikas Yojana, is not just about selecting players—it’s about empowering them for life.

Young athletes registering for the trials aren’t just competing—they’re chasing a dream. Through rigorous physical and skill-based evaluation, the state aims to select raw talent and train them into national champions.

Munger Trials: Real Talent, Real Passion

The latest trial took place at Sheetalpur Ground in Munger. A total of 152 players, including 22 girls and 130 boys, participated with unmatched enthusiasm.

Every sprint, every kick, every pass revealed how Bihar’s sports scene is changing. The children came not just from cities, but also remote villages—carrying ambition, hunger, and grit.

These trials are happening across multiple districts and will cover 18 different sports disciplines, including football, wrestling, athletics, and kabaddi.

How the Selection Process Works

Ravindran Shankaran, Director General and CEO of Bihar State Sports Authority, explained that selection will be based on physical fitness and game skills. Points will be awarded in both categories, and top scorers will be selected.

This process ensures that talent and effort, not privilege, decide the outcome. The government is providing everything necessary—residential stay, nutritious food, structured training, and education.

Coaches Who Shape Confidence and Champions

Every selected player will train under qualified, experienced coaches. These mentors sharpen sporting skills while instilling values such as discipline, teamwork, and leadership.

The coaching curriculum focuses on both physical performance and character development. Players will learn how to win with humility and lose with resilience.

What Makes This Initiative Unique

Eklavya centers in Bihar do more than just train athletes. They create an environment where young individuals grow into balanced, confident personalities. With access to free education, healthcare, meals, and mentoring, players can focus entirely on performance and learning.

The early-stage selection gives children enough time to evolve into medal-winning athletes. Bihar’s efforts aim to build a strong bench of future-ready sports leaders who can make their mark on national and international platforms.

Join the Movement That’s Changing Bihar

This initiative reflects Bihar’s firm belief in its youth. By recognizing talent early and nurturing it with full support, the state is investing in long-term success.
