It comes from an indomitable will. ~ Mahatma Gandhi These words of wisdom by Mahatma Gandhi, hold good in the field of sports as well.The National Sports University (NSU), first of its kind in India, endeavours to develop a holistic eco system of Sports Education, Training and Research in the country which not only takes care of the physical well being of the students but also their socio-psychological, academic and skill needs. The university aims to create an idiomatic sports education that is able to chisel a new generation of coaches, sports scientist and sports educationists who are able, competent and humane and who would permeate not only into the sports system of our country, but also of the world as a whole, so as to meet the challenges of ever-evolving field of sports. The pandemic of COVID-19 has led to an unprecedented public health crisis for the world. The pandemic has challenged the students as well as others in the education sector. As we brace ourselves for the challenges and look for opportunities and re-imagining our education systems, enabling our students to become adaptable, resilient, ethical and purposeful is of utmost importance. At NSU, we believe in a holistic interwoven approach to learning as essential for a transformation and cutting-edge university experience. These teaching and learning methods help students to become employable for various sectors, ranging from sports coaching, teaching, research, management, sports science, media etc. I am proud to share that, despite the challenges thrown up by COVID-19, NSU has adapted the blended method of teaching and learning and completed all the academic activities successfully for all the semesters in the previous academic year. This was only possible with the untiring efforts of our highly skilled and experienced faculty and indomitable will of our students to learn. The university has also successfully organized online curricular and co-curricular activities. NSU also organises various national and international seminars, webinars and special lectures in association with institutes of national repute and invite sports experts, trainers, coaches and famous personalities from India and abroad to broaden and challenge the learning experience of the students. While a world class campus of the University is under constrction at a beautiful location in Manipur surrounded by green mountains and forests, its temporary campus is situated in the Kuman Lampak Sports Complex at Imphal, Manipur. Manipur is one of India’s blessed states with scenic and natural beauty.

Back in the days of whist (the ancestor of bridge) the Earl of Yarborough was well aware that picking up a hand without any aces, face cards or tens was extremely rare (the actual chance is around 1400 to 1).

The Earl won many thousands of pounds over the years, using this bet. funtrivia.com Abf.com.au Sports beginning with Y yachting — a term for sailing probably came to mind to all of us.
