NCSSR & IIT-Delhi Ink MoU to Advance Sports Science and Indigenous Innovation.

The National Centre of Sports Science Research (NCSSR) under the Sports Authority of India (SAI), MoYAS recently signed an MoU with the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi (IIT-D) to strengthen collaboration in sports science, advanced technology, and indigenous innovation.

      - The MoU was signed at IIT-Delhi campus by Dr. Bibhu Kalyan Nayak (NCSSR) and Prof. K. Aggarwal (IIT-D) in the presence of Hari Ranjan Rao, Secretary, MoYAS, and Prof. Rangan Banerjee, Director, IIT-D.

      - The collaboration will focus on athlete performance enhancement, injury prevention, and scientific recovery systems, while promoting knowledge-sharing between top scientists and sports institutions.

      - A new Biomechanics Research Laboratory has been inaugurated at IIT-Delhi, equipped to conduct advanced sports science evaluations and provide scientific insights into athlete performance and well-being.

Main Point :-   (i) NCSSR was established in 2017 to integrate medical, sports, and technology research for elite athletes under SAI’s High-Performance Centres.

      (ii) The Biomechanics Laboratory at IIT-Delhi has been designed with motion-capture systems, force plates, and wearable sensors, enabling real-time biomechanical and physiological analysis.

(iii) This MoU also supports India’s 2028 Los Angeles Olympics preparation roadmap, aiming to create indigenous scientific training models for international competitiveness.
