The vice-chancellor added, “To overcome these challenges, RRU has already begun meticulous planning in close coordination with its stakeholders. A dedicated WPFG Secretariat is being established, supported by an organizing committee that includes experts in sports administration, logistics, hospitality, and international relations. Furthermore, we will train a cadre of 500 student and community volunteers to support operations, ensuring seamless execution and cultural integration
According to officials, RRU has established the School of NCC and Police Martial Music Band, the nation’s first institution exclusively dedicated to martial, ceremonial, and band music. The institute has also set up Bharat Centre of Olympic Research and Education as the country’s first Olympic research grants program, supporting Master and PhD scholars across India and South Asia with financial assistance, resources, and networking opportunities.
BCORE has a corpus of Rs 75 lakh corpus (approx. $900,000 USD) from Gujarat State Cooperative Bank and Ahmedabad Cooperative Bank, according to RRU. Patel further told ET, “Hosting these games at RRU will not only showcase our state-of-the-art infrastructure but also position the university as a global center for excellence in security, sports science, and international event management. However, we are aware that this global responsibility comes with unique challenges ranging from infrastructure scaling, logistical coordination, security, athlete accommodation, and ensuring international standard event execution.
