Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami is set to introduce pivotal initiatives to develop sports in Uttarakhand. These include the establishment of a Sports University in Haldwani, with preparations underway for the foundation stone laying on Sports Day, and the opening of 23 sports academies in eight different cities. These academies will be located in cities like Dehradun, Haridwar, and Haldwani that hosted various sporting events. These developments will not only improve the maintenance of existing sports infrastructure but will also offer a superior training platform for athletes. The state’s hosting of the 38th National Games significantly boosted its sports profile. Uttarakhand’s athletes showcased impressive performances, which included winning a large number of medals. Moreover, the government’s commitment to sports is evident through the new sports policy, which offers lucrative incentives and job opportunities. The administration’s proactive approach seeks to foster a vibrant sports culture in the state.
