While Mary looks after her sports and political career along with academy, her husband undertakes all the managerial decisions of the academy. When the duo was asked about their vision for the academy, they said, "We do not just deal with sports/boxing but also education and personality development activities, which eventually empowers students to the core. This will also inspire and influence the women in the country and make them realize that they are very much capable of doing what men can."

Fighting with the grave infrastructural setbacks, India's only woman boxer Kom is working day in and day out to provide the best possible facilities to aspiring sportspersons in India.
