Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday announced that 1,000 youth of the state would be imparted training in adventure sports every year by the State Government so as to enable them to get employment.
“Besides this, adventure-sports will be started in the hills of Kalesar, Dhosi, Aravalli and Mewat, where three to five 'adventure-sports camps' will be organised every year other than such camps being organised in Morni, Panchkula.
An amount of Rs 2 crore will be spent every year on training in the above camps,” said the Chief Minister while addressing the youth at the closing ceremony of the training programme named 'Youthpreneur' under the 'Milkha Singh Adventure Sports Club' organised by the Sports and Youth Affairs Department of Haryana.
During this training programme, youth falling between the age group of 16 to 29 years of Morni area were trained about entrepreneurship related to 'Adventure-Sports and Home-Stay'.
While congratulating and wishing the youth on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the Chief Minister talked about Netaji’s indelible contribution to the freedom movement and called upon the youth to follow the path of patriotism shown by him.
Citing example of Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh and other great personalities, Khattar said that youth is energetic, thus, if this energy is channelised in the right direction, then the nation will surely be on the path of progress.
While exhorting the youth to be job-givers instead of job-seekers, he said that the Haryana Government is striving for the upliftment of the poorest of the poor with the spirit of Antyodaya.
He said that this will be done by organizing Antyodaya Rozgar Melas and the state is making the poor aware about the facility of loans and various ways to become self-employed, including starting poultry farms, fish farming, animal husbandry etc so that their income can be enhanced.
Khattar also apprised the youth about the work being done by the State Government in the field of religious tourism and cultural tourism, besides adventure sports.
