Dr. Virji Koul, CEO of Elite Power Sports said, \u201cThis is what we mean when we say \u201cCreating Heroes\u201d to work on the ground level and filter the best talents. Heroes are made by the viewers and the skill of the athlete, not by us. We believe that EPS will be the NCAA of India\u201d.<\/p>\n

EPS is structured similarly to the United States National Collegiate Athletic Association NCAA, which oversees intercollegiate athletics. EPS is organising First-grade Championships like the Spring Classic Championship 2023, to grow a large fan base of university sports enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

The mission of EPS is to create academic and athletic opportunities for India\u2019s young women and men by promoting and commercialising University Sports in India. Eventually it served as a feeder to send Indian athletes to the Olympics, Commonwealth, World Cups etc.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mohit Singh Rajawat, COO of Elite Power Sports, quotes, \u201cEPS will be coming up with more of such Championships in the coming months with more universities and multiple sports\u201d.<\/p>\n
