Strong Sports Culture for Girls and Youth Emphasised as Key Objective at Srijan Sports Conference I heartily congratulate the Department of Youth Affairs and Sports for such an initiative that led to the organization of a national-level sports conference, said the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu & Kashmir, Shri Manoj Sinha while inaugurating the two-day National Level Sports Conference ‘Srijan’ at Jammu. He heartily congratulated the Department and all the colleagues involved in organizing this event. He said that he was confident that the collective and personal experiences of the people present in the conference will pave the way for the revival of sports as per the conditions of every region, apart from Jammu and Kashmir, so that India’s growing strength at the international level can also be taken to a historical level. And Jammu and Kashmir should also be represented in it, he added. The Lieutenant Governor expressed his confidence that new roadmaps can be prepared for the future. According to him, all these agenda items have two main functions. First, excelling in the Olympics and international games. The second objective, which is clearly visible, is to promote a strong sports culture among the people, especially among girls and youth. Under the leadership of the Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi ji, India has also achieved many milestones in the last ten to eleven years towards achieving these two goals, LG said. Under the guidance of the Prime Minister in July last year, the National Sports Policy 2025 was presented to the country and is being implemented with the aim of establishing the country as a global sports power. The National Sports Policy 2025 aims to strengthen sports programmes from grassroots to top level including mechanisms for early identification and grooming of sporting talents. To further promote the establishment of competitive events. Developing the basics of sports in both rural and urban areas. The country is preparing to develop a global system for training and coaching players to support them in India. Youth are also looking at sports as a career. Khelo India Centres are taking the form of a mass movement in every corner of the country. And certainly, sports culture is also becoming richer because of this. For the youth, sports is the school of life where discipline, values and leadership are learnt not from books but through hard work and experience on the field. And when we are able to give sports the right opportunity and direction, it leads to social awareness and immense progress, empowering the entire society, LG said. And hence, it should always be emphasised that by instilling self-confidence in the individual in villages, they learn to trust their abilities, set goals and work relentlessly towards achieving those goals, thus spoke the J&K Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha.
