Olympic silver medalist and badminton star P.V. Sindhu has taken a major step toward empowering the next generation of sports talent in India by performing the Bhumi Puja for her state-of-the-art badminton academy and sports excellence center in Visakhapatnam. The academy will focus on grooming young athletes for top-level competitions, and it is expected to be a game-changer for badminton in Andhra Pradesh.
PV Sindhu's Vision for Excellence in Indian SportsSindhu, who made history as the only Indian to win the badminton World Championships title, shared her excitement on social media: “Excited to break ground on the PV Sindhu Center for Badminton and Sports Excellence in Visakhapatnam! This isn't just a facility; it's the future—a bold step to elevate the next generation of champions and ignite the spirit of excellence in Indian sports.”
Sindhu has always expressed her commitment to developing sports, particularly badminton,
in her home state of Andhra Pradesh. With the land for the academy secured, thanks to the generous support of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the ace shuttler is now set to build a world-class facility that will serve as a launchpad for aspiring sports champions. The project, which started with a Bhumi Puja ceremony, will be completed in phases, with the first phase focusing on the academy and eventually a sports school as well.
The Academy's PlansThe academy, spread across two acres of land in the Thotaguru area, will provide state-of-the-art infrastructure to train athletes at the highest level. Sindhu plans to incorporate various sports into the academy once it is operational, but for now, her focus remains on training young badminton players. She also plans to take on training responsibilities herself once she retires from professional sports.
Sindhu's commitment to sports development doesn't stop here. She aims to build a facility that will inspire, empower, and nurture talent across various disciplines. Her vision is clear: to make India a hub for sporting excellence and to elevate the future of Indian sports through this endeavor.
