In a country like India where sports other than cricket take long time to gain foothold, Billiards too has its share of struggle. The major setback in the popularity to the sport is the fact that it is regarded as the sports of affluent and elite in the country. There is a popular view that billiards is not meant for common men.

• To preserve the prestige and dignity of professional snooker and billiards.
• To give snooker and billiards a new image in India.
