The school is the first of its kind in India, and it is planned to open doors within this year.
"This is one of the most ambitious projects for FCBescola worldwide," director of FCBEscola, Xevi Marce, said to reporters.
"We hope to train 10,000 young footballers in the coming three years and with this initiative we will provide the depth and the quality needed to develop coaches and players from a very young age."
Antonio Claveria, who made a trip to Delhi when the Catalan club had their first camp at the Heritage School, has been appointed technical director of the facility.
