The inauguration of new football grounds in Tawang District by Chief Minister Shri Pema Khandu marks a significant milestone in the region's sports infrastructure development. Featuring FIFA-standard artificial and mini turfs, these state-of-the-art facilities are poised to nurture local talent and offer superior training and match venues. Locations like Jang and Zemithang are anticipated to experience heightened football activity, enhancing community engagement and promoting overall physical well-being.
Additionally, the installation of a synthetic athletic track in Tawang and the construction of multi-purpose halls in several districts underscore the government’s commitment to providing comprehensive sports facilities. Another notable development is the construction of a 120-bedded hostel cum integrated sports complex at the SAI National Center of Excellence in District Itanagar, which will offer athletes top-tier amenities and training opportunities.
Several new sports infrastructures have been inaugurated across the state, including a new badminton hall at Kamkuh Rusa in Longding and court badminton halls at Nyapin in Kurung Kumey. In Tirbin town, Leparada, a multipurpose hall has been inaugurated under the Khelo India Scheme of the Union Sports Ministry, along with numerous other facilities throughout Arunachal Pradesh.
These initiatives support the broader goal of promoting sports to foster youth development and healthy lifestyles. Arunachal Pradesh's commitment to improving sports facilities reflects a proactive approach to nurturing talent and promoting an active lifestyle among its youth. The newly inaugurated facilities are expected to become hubs of sporting excellence, driving community participation and fostering a culture of sportsmanship and physical fitness in the region.
We invite citizens to share their thoughts on the impact of the ongoing investment in advancement in Sports. What other measures should be taken by GoAP to further improve sports infrastructure in the State?
