Along with the rest of the nation Tripura also celebrated the National Sports Day-2023. The day is celebrated on 29th of August every year to commemorate the birth anniversary of legendary hockey player Major Dhyan Chand.
To celebrate the National Sports Day-2023 a programme was organized by the youth affairs and sports department, Govt. of Tripura at Umakanta Swimming Pool premises on Tuesday.
Addressing in the programme minister for Youth Affairs & Sports Tinku Roy said, advanced sports infrastructure is being developed to improve the quality of sports in the state so that talented players can emerge and shine the name of the state at the national and international levels, he added.
He further said that the state did not have such quality infrastructure in the field of sports earlier. In the past, there was no initiative to build or improve the infrastructure in the field of sports in our state. This has become possible after the present government came to power, he added.
Tripura government is working with a priority to develop Sports facilities at various places in the state so that the state’s youths can achieve success at various levels, he mentioned.
