PATNA---------------------------A historic step has been taken towards giving recognition and platform to sports talent in Bihar. Under the Chief Minister Sports Development Scheme, sports building cum gymnasium is being established in every district of the state, which will not only become the center of sports activities, but will also provide a dedicated and equipped place for emerging players.

So far, these sports buildings have been completed in 25 out of 38 districts of the state, while construction work is in progress at a rapid pace in 13 districts. The districts where new buildings are being built include districts like Muger, Kaimur, Buxar, Supaul, Begusarai. Each sports building includes the office of the District Sports Officer, an air-conditioned meeting room with 50 seats, and a gymnasium equipped with high quality gym equipment. Along with this, for the convenience of the players, there are separate changing rooms for boys and girls, and a multi-purpose hall, in which training and competitions of indoor sports like Taekwondo, Wushu, Fencing, Table Tennis, Weightlifting, Kabaddi can be organized.

Keeping in mind the safety, convenience and cleanliness of the players, the Sports Department has recently approved an amount of Rs 10.26 crore for the existing sports buildings. With this amount, RO water purifiers, generator sets, CCTV monitoring systems and signboards will be installed, which will make the sports complex more safe and useful. This initiative is not only promoting sports culture in Bihar, but is also inspiring the youth to adopt a positive, healthy and disciplined lifestyle.

It is the result of the vision and commitment of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar that now the youth of Bihar can bring glory to the state and the country with their talent in the field of sports. In the coming years, these sports buildings will become a dream land for the players of the state – from where many national and international players will emerge.
