Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore today urged investors to pump in money for the development of sports in the country. The sports minister announced that the government is looking to launch a project that will identify the potential and hone the skills of 8-10 years of age in the country and provide them scholarships.

"At any given time there are 10 crore students in schools. We will partner with school boards, state governments and even the armed forces. They will identify and map the physical fitness of 8-10-year-olds based on a simple test," Rathore said at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Global Sports Summit 'Scorecard'.
