Sports Literacy Promotion Van
Sports Literacy Promotion Van (SLPV) is yet another unique idea of Dr. Kanishka Pandey for promoting sports culture in country. In this, a van designed by Sports: A Way of Life will be covering all the state capitals of the country for creating awareness and positivity about sports. The van will also cover all the districts which will fall in the route and at least one village associated with that district.
Former Chairman UGC.
I see a visionary in Kanishka. He has already translated his vision into the present book which is Sports: A Way of Life. I have closely gone through the manuscript because I received the manuscript and I got an opportunity to look into the manuscript before the book was sent to the press . I personally feel that the sport is the only apparatus which can build the character which is of paramount significance
Former Sec. Department of Health Research,GOI.
It is a brilliant piece of work which genius can do. It is start of turning point and I think it multiplies as a time moves. We are vying for healthy society and healthy does not mean you are physically fit only. It is a stage of physical, mental and social wellness. All the three things are equal and all they are interlinked to each other. India is not putting sports as a tool of transformation, which Kanishka has done actually.

I feel proud to say that Kanishka from our fraternity actually has done research resulting into such lovely book and I think it’s a wonderful book you have got. Because going through the contents, thought process, it is wonderful, congratulations. I think this is a fantastic book written with great insight.
Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Awardee and Paralympic Gold Medalist
I believe that this book will be an inspiration in the coming times. I believe this book is about how to move forward in life and will remain a source of Inspiration. What is a game? The game is not only a win but from game you get disciplined from inside
I want to highlight three things which Kaniska has done. First of all he has gone and put into practice what many people just talk about the pain, the difficulty, which he experienced, he does not want others to go through. Second he has put in a lot of thoughts and efforts to pursue his research. The third I he is not looking at just his problem, of course it is a problem for him like he shares with us when he did not make it through the civil services. It was a big blow for him but what he has done is, he has come out of that personal tragedy and has made use of that as a platform to help the larger population. It is his vision which I want to appreciate.
