Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Mrs Raksha Khadse conducted a thorough review of the training facilities, observed the dedicated work of the coaches, and assessed the progress of the athletes.
The Minister also meticulously inspected the modern amenities and overall readiness of the STC centre, which plays a pivotal role in the region’s sports landscape.
The SAI-STC centre in Agartala is particularly renowned for its focus on gymnastics, with carefully selected young athletes currently undergoing intensive training. Established through a collaborative effort with the local government, this centre is widely recognised as a crucial pillar for sports development across North-East India.
Mrs Khadse’s detailed assessment included a close look at the training equipment, the hostel facilities provided to the athletes, their dietary provisions, and the medical and psychological support services available, ensuring a holistic development environment.
The Minister engaged personally with the young trainees, taking the time to understand their motivations, the challenges they face, and their individual aspirations.
“The future of India lies with these young individuals. The central government stands firmly with them, committed to their success,” the Minister said.
The Union Minister’s tour is an integral part of Poorvottar Sampark Setu, an ambitious programme spearheaded by the Government of India. Under this initiative, Union Ministers undertake direct public engagement tours across the North-Eastern states to conduct on-ground reviews of development status and address local issues effectively.
During her time in Tripura, the Minister engaged in extensive discussions covering various critical areas including sports, youth policy, education, and science and technology projects.
In line with India’s long-term development vision encapsulated in India@2047, the sports sector is earmarked to play an increasingly significant role.
“The overall objective is to nurture and develop athletes from the grassroots level through SAI centres, preparing them for grand international competitions,” Mrs Khadse said.
