The focus on developing top-notch sporting facilities across the state is a significant step toward nurturing talent at the grassroots level. By providing accessible and high-quality infrastructure, Assam aims to create an environment that fosters excellence in sports and produces world-class athletes.
The government's holistic approach to promoting sports as a career choice demonstrates its commitment to the overall development of Assam's youth. By combining job opportunities, infrastructure development, and a transparent policy framework, Chief Minister Sarma's administration is paving the way for a future where sports can be pursued with confidence and enthusiasm in the state.
