Activity, activity, activity. Well, e try court in the country will welcome this approach and there will be no question of banning it at all.

It is very heartening to note we have been working overtime, and consistently at that, for the promotion and upliftment of sports in the state.

Our efforts have borne fruit considering the fact that many of our sportspersons have represented the country and have also brought laurels.

This would not have been possible without providing them the basic opportunity to shine in their respective disciplines.

Multi-events like the State Games, the National Games etc are of paramount importance. We have successfully conducted the State Games in the past and we must continue to do so. This enables us to unearth talent and form good teams when we participate in the national Games.

Of course all units have their own state championships at all levels. I can only request everyone to ensure that tournaments or competitions are conducted regularly. If possible, we must explore ways and means to e en institute more of them, especially in various districts so that no talent in the state goes unnoticed.

I appeal to each one of you to come forward with proposals to develop new platforms for our sports persons to shienand bring glory to the state and the country.
