Mysuru MP seeks indigenous sports academies in Mysuru, Kodagu
Raising the matter under Rule 377 in Parliament, Mr. Yaduveer said Mysuru and Kodagu have a rich sporting heritage ranging from Vajra Musti wrestling and Mallakhamba in Mysuru to the globally renowned hockey tradition of Kodagu, along with Kabaddi, Kho-Kho, and yoga-based fitness disciplines that are deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of the region.
'These sports are not only part of our history but also integral to our identity and community life,' he added.
He pointed out that the absence of structured training facilities, scientific coaching, and dedicated infrastructure to these indigenous sports has led to a steady decline in youth participation. Establishing specialised sports academies with modern infrastructure, trained coaches, and talent identification programmes, he said, would help revive these traditions, nurture local talent, and prepare athletes for national and international competitions.
'I urge the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports to immediately sanction and establish regional sports academies in Mysore and Kodagu dedicated to indigenous games, integrating them into the Khelo India framework and ensuring sustained funding and promotion,' Mr. Yaduveer appealed.

Amid the din of the Opposition protest, Union minister of commerce and industry Piyush Goyal introduced the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2025, and then referred it to a select committee.
