Deepak Ojha, founder, TalkEsport, says, “I believe that being the world’s largest youth population, India as a nation can fare tremendously on bringing this much needed reform of amalgamating the subject of esports in our education curriculum, it is not only in line with the growing international need to equip our children with the advancements taking place across the globe but this incentive can go a long way in motivating students to see esports as a potential career, which is increasingly being promoted these days”.

He also added, “Our global growth can subsequently be empowered when we mix education with esports, Indian schools need to incentivise children with something which rejuvenates them amidst long study hours, it can also play a leading role in de-stressing students and providing them with wider vocational opportunities other than studies.”

Inclusion of esports in the curriculum comes with many benefits. As more and more people are engaging in online games and are getting attracted to esports, the awareness and importance  to include esports in education and vocational curriculums will also increase.
