Strengthening Sports Infrastructure Since 2014

Saini said that since 2014, the State Government has accorded priority to strengthening sports infrastructure and providing better facilities and opportunities to players.

The results of these efforts are evident in the consistent performance of Haryana's sportspersons, who continue to win medals, including gold, and bring laurels to the state and the country, he said.

Appreciating the achievements of the players, the Chief Minister said that their success is a result of their hard work and talent, complemented by the State Government's sports policy and the facilities being provided to them.
