SAI  is also in the process  of  reviving  its  STC  at  Padma, Hazaribagh  which  earlier  could  not  be  made  operational  due  to security  concerns.    The  Governing  Body  of  SAI  has  also  approved establishment  of  a  Boys  Sports  Company  to  be  run  by  the  Centre Reserve  Police  Force  (CRPF)  in  addition  to  SAI  Training  Centre  at Padma, Hazaribagh (Jharkhand).
