Khel Gaon, a welcome step

Dear Editor,
Jammu and Kashmir is striving hard to create a niche in the field of sports by providing required infrastructure to sportspersons and with this motive behind proposed ‘Khel Gaon’ Nagrota at 170 Kanals of land is a commendable initiative by the Government. Khel Gaon is a complete hi-tech package for the sportspersons in Jammu which will provide them infrastructure required to prepare and compete with other players. ‘Khel Gaon’ will cater to the needs of thousands of sportspersons in various disciplines of sports in Jammu & Kashmir.
Jammu & Kashmir has huge potential but there is a dire to improve the sports infrastructure so that our players can practice and compete with other players.
I welcome the initiative of the sports department that it is providing sports disciplines including Shooting, Basketball, Volleyball, Gymnastics, Badminton, Football, Table Tennis, Hockey, Cricket, Kho-Kho, Boxing, Swimming, Wrestling, Skating, Judo etc. in Khel Gaon.
This platform will provide all the required infrastructure and professional training to sportspersons of Jammu and Kashmir. Through your daily, I would like to thank the Sports Department and Government for such an initiative and I hope the sports persons of Jammu & Kashmir will get benefit from this and prepare themselves to compete on international levels and bring laurels for Jammu and Kashmir.
Pawan Sharma,
Nagrota.
