🧾Chairperson’s Message

Dear Colleagues, Students, and Friends,
It gives me immense pride and a deep sense of responsibility to serve as the Chairperson of the DhyanSport Sports & Physical Education Foundation. This Foundation was established with a profound vision—to transform the landscape of sports science, physical education, wellness, and indigenous games in India through education, research, and community outreach. The Dhyansport Institute of Sports & Physical Education Research, operating under the Foundation, is a realization of that vision. It is not merely an academic institution, but a dynamic platform for empowering youth, educators, athletes, and scholars with knowledge, skills, and values rooted in both science and tradition. This journey is a personal tribute to my late father, whose belief in education, discipline, and public service continues to guide my every step. Through this Foundation, we honor his legacy by promoting physical literacy, fostering innovation, and reaching the unreached—especially in rural and underserved communities.
Warm regards,
Dr. Tushar Dhar Shukla
Chairperson
