Hyderabad: AISTS India and Young India Physical Education & Sports University (YIPESU) have entered into a strategic academic partnership aimed at strengthening sports education, developing globally benchmarked academic programmes and establishing Telangana as a leading destination for international sports education.
The partnership will establish a long-term framework for collaboration between the two institutions, with a focus on jointly offering the AISTS India Post Graduate Certificate Programme (PGCP). The initiative aims to create stronger pathways for students through exchange opportunities, internships, industry exposure and placements, connecting learners with the broader Indian and international sports ecosystem.
The institutions will also explore the development of internationally benchmarked programmes across sports management and related disciplines.
Mr Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary, Hyderabad Metropolitan Area and Department of Sports, Government of Telangana, committed his full support to the partnership to ensure that it benefits a wide cross-section of the youth in Telangana.
Dr Kishore Gopinathan, Vice-Chancellor, YIPESU, said, “Through this partnership with AISTS India, we take a decisive step towards a dream we have long held: placing the Indian sports academic system firmly on the global stage. Together, we will build a cycle of excellence that meets the highest international standards, ensuring our institutions, our coaches and our athletes are never found wanting when measured against the world’s best.”
“This collaboration enables the university to move decisively towards its goals, with immediate academic pursuits that can begin without delay and are designed to benefit the students of Telangana directly,” he said.
“Through AISTS India’s expertise, our students will gain access to a quality of learning that strengthens the wider sporting ecosystem of the state in a lasting, sustainable way — building the foundation we need as India looks ahead to major sporting milestones in the years to come, including its Commonwealth Games and Olympic ambitions towards 2036,” Dr Kishore said.
