Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an excellent sporting environment has been created within the country in the past nine to ten years.
The result of these activities is evident in the nation’s rapid progress on the international stage in the field of sports, he added.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the Uttar Pradesh Rural Sports League and the concluding ceremony of the Brahmaleen Mahant Avaidyanath Smriti Akhil Bhartiye Prize Money Kabaddi Competition, the Chief Minister illuminated the torch of the Rural Sports League, inaugurated the league and felicitated the winning players after the conclusion of the Kabaddi competition.
On this occasion, he mentioned that the ‘Khelo India’, ‘Fit India Movement’ and the ‘Sansad Khel Pratiyogita’ have provided significant encouragement to sports and athletes. To further boost this momentum, sports centres are being established in every district.
“The number of participants from the country in events such as the Olympics, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, as well as the medals they have been winning, provides a glimpse of this achievement,” said CM Yogi.
