Following is from the PIB release http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=55906.
LOK SABHA
There are two institutions at the National level viz. Lakshmibai National University of Physical Education (LNUPE), Gwalior and Netaji Subhash National Institute of Sports (NSNIS), Patiala imparting physical and sports education at graduate and post graduate levels in addition to conducting diploma and certificate courses. The Minister of State for Youth Affairs & Sports, Shri Pratik Prakashbapu Patil informed the Lok Sabha today, in a written reply to a question by Sh. Sajjan Verma. The sports being State subject, the Ministry does not maintain data regarding sports universities in the States and also State Governments are expected to take necessary steps to promote sports universities, the Minister added.

please consider having a tie-up with different sports associations for variety of sports.
a) Archery association
b) Hockey association.
One might also add that, University curricula should have a feeder network with schools in rural areas to sdource talent for these universities.
Sponsorship should also be obtained from many corporates for running of this university.
A special fund should also be created to sponsor deserving atheletes.
A proposal should be put for NRO organisations to provide consistent funding for such activities.
