New opportunities
With better infrastructure in the sports sector, youth of Jammu and Kashmir have new opportunities to show their talent in this field.
The Government of Jammu and Kashmir is working on the ground to provide playing fields, stadiums, experts and coaches for the local youth to get training in different fields of sports.
The new sports policy of J&K government is offering attractive career options if the youth show their talent in this field.
Recently LG Manoj Sinha while inaugurating a sports event said that our sincere effort is to provide an environment of encouragement and adequate resources so that every talented sports person can give spectacular performance in the national and international events. We are committed to take every possible step to develop a strong winner’s instinct among our sportspersons.
He underscored that Sports is all about unifying the spirit of universal harmony and brotherhood.
This championship should not be viewed as an event that is only about winning. Participation with the spirit of sportsmanship is important. As a one big united family, celebrate the success of others as much as you celebrate yours.
Noting that Pencak Silat is relatively new to India and introduced only in 2014, the Lt Governor said within few years, Jammu Kashmir has witnessed an upswing in performance of our athletes in national and international events and they have earned 540 medals in the national events and 17 medals in the International events.
