Durbar Sports Academy (DSA) which started its journey in 2011 at Ramnagar, South 24 Parganas near Baruipur, around 30 kilometers from Kolkata, seems losing its momentum gradually due to a lack of financial assistance. It built up a hostel in 2005-06 for both the boys and girls footballers who were staying there and passionate on football. As its reflection, Biswajit Majumder, an experienced football coach started coaching with them. The Academy gradually built up a multi-gym for training. Along with football, the players also could play kabaddi and volleyball. 

DSA had an impressive show when they became champion in the IFA-organized under-13 football league. Four of their footballers ensured berths and were instrumental in the under-13 Bengal team that won the under-13 national championship. 

The Academy took part in Dana Cup in Denmark and two of their boys were selected to play in World Slum Soccer Championship and they became the top scorers in the competition, respectively. Even, one of their promising boys Rajiv Roy got into an Indian squad that had an opportunity to train at Manchester United academy for 20 days. In a bid to take their promising boys to the mainstream of Kolkata football, DSA had also made a tie-up with third-division team Jorabagan. 

But after the Covid-19 pandemic and the demise of the organization's Chief Advisor Smarajit Jana, DSA seems floundering. Residential programs have been stopped and now the 60 young footballers of under-13 and under-15 category train at the same place through a non-residential program. DSA had to spend nearly Rs 1 lakh 50 thousand to continue its residential program which was not possible for the organization due to lack of financial assistance. Then the same financial crisis has forced DSA to stop the tie-up with the third division team of the Kolkata football league. 

DSA president Protim Roy said, "We have no financial assistance for sports. Still, we are being able to continue the training program thanks to the donations made by a few well-wishers. Still, we have roped in a licensed coach Ali Reza, a former professional footballer. We have fielded the girls' football team in Kanyasree Cup. We are preparing for the IFA-nursery football league. Significantly, we still have been able to maintain our original philosophy which is to provide a healthy and sustainable life to the boys and girls of the extremely backward communities who are coming from below the poverty line."
