The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), in collaboration with ed-tech platform CoLLearn and Shikhar Dhawan’s DA One Sports, is all set to launch skilling for cricket coaches across India to enhance their capability to mentor players across various levels. The Cricket Coach Education Programme is a collaborative effort where NSDC will facilitate workshops to raise awareness about the programme and provide skill loans to all the eligible candidates for this initiative.
CoLLearn Education Technologies will be responsible for organizing classes and providing placement support to the students, while DA One Sports, which works on creating a grassroots sporting ecosystem, will focus on student assessments and all-round field training.
Talking about the initiative, Shri Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Managing Director, NSDC International (NSDCI), said, “This program aims to empower aspiring coaches, ensuring they are well-prepared to contribute to the vibrant and evolving landscape of Indian sports.” Speaking about the tie-up, CoLLearn’s Srishty Jain said, “Our Cricket Coach Education Program is more than just training—it’s about creating leaders who can inspire and nurture the next generation of cricketers.” Shikhar Dhawan said, “Cricket isn’t just a game; it’s a passion that unites our nation.”
