Uttarakhand is poised for a major leap in sports development with Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami at the helm. The state will see the establishment of a Sports University in Haldwani and the launch of 23 new sports academies spread across eight cities, including Dehradun, Haridwar, and Haldwani. These initiatives are designed to enhance the utilization of existing sports facilities and provide top-tier training facilities for athletes. The recent success of the National Games, hosted by Uttarakhand, highlighted the state’s commitment to sports, with its athletes significantly improving their medal tally. The government’s new sports policy further incentivizes athletes with financial rewards and job opportunities. This comprehensive approach underscores Dhami’s dedication to promoting sports and creating an environment where athletes can thrive, as evidenced by the high morale and performance of the state’s athletes.
