Uttar Pradesh is soon going to become a dreamland for the aspiring sportspersons in the country as the Yogi Adityanath government has started preparations for setting up sports grounds and gymnasiums in 100 Gram Panchayats across the state.
In order to promote sports talent and hone the skills of players coming out from the small villages and districts, the Yogi Government, in its second innings, has prioritised providing sports facilities to all the players.
According to the government spokesman, the focus of the state government, which is engaged in realising the mission 'Khoob-Khelo-Khoob-Badho', is mainly on the players coming out of the villages.
The government is ensuring that the players, who have the potential to bring laurels to the country, should not be deprived of any facilities.
