The State sports minister Rekha Arya expressed gratitude to the chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for approving the proposal of Uttarakhand Sports University Bill-2024 during the cabinet meeting held on Tuesday. The bill is all set to be tabled and passed in the upcoming State Assembly session beginning on August 21.
Visibly happy over the development, Arya said on Wednesday that this bill after becoming an act would provide the youth and players of the State a new platform to hone and enhance their sports talent. “As things stand now, the day is quite near when the State will be among the select States of the country with its own sports university. This will definitely open new avenues of possibilities for our high-energy youngsters inclined to sports and the State will make its presence increasingly felt in the sports world,” she added.
She further said that the State government would leave no stone unturned to adorn the upcoming university with state of the art sports facilities. “The approaching
National Games slated in the State in October and November this year will be a big opportunity for the emerging players of the State to display their sporting skills. I am sure that the NG -24 will launch a host of promising and talented players at the national level,” she added.
