Haryana Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday said that Khel Suvidha Kendras would be established in Khel Parisars in urban areas of Haryana, which would be named after Swami Vivekananda.
To promote sports and physical activities, 100 gymnasiums would be set up in parks in urban areas in the State where people of all age groups would be able to practice the game or physical activity of their choice. Also, adequate sports facilities would be provided at the Khel Suvidha Kendras, said the Minister.
Vij said that all related equipment and other sports facilities would be provided in the gymnasiums.
He said that Vyayaam and Yogshalas are being constructed in all villages to help in implementation of slogan of ‘sports for all’ in letter and spirit. The proposal to recruit 1,000 coaches for the training of players has already been approved. Haryana would be the first state, where coaches in large number would be recruited, said he.
Vij added that coaches would be provided for national level sports in all districts of Haryana. Not only this, Khel Parishad is being given Constitutional status so as to promptly resolve issues concerning players.
With a view to keep our traditional sports alive, concerted efforts were being made. Depending upon the potential of the players, the State Government would provide them ample opportunities so that they win maximum medals in international events including Olympics, said he.
