SPORTS & YOUTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT

  Sports & Games are no more considered a pastime or recreation.  They have become a way of life.  Fierce professionalism has replaced the ideals of amateurism.  The old concept of “Participation, not winning is the most important thing in Sports” has become obsolete.  Winning at any cost is the rule of the day. Enormous resources are mobilized by the developed Countries for producing elite athletes which is now associated as a symbol of pride for a Nation. 

  In the backdrop of this Global scenario, Directorate of Sports & Youth Services stands committed in its relentless pursuit of excellence in Sports & Games as well as promotion of Youth activities.  Various welfare schemes, projects and programmes are taken up by the Directorate of Sports & Youth Services e:g creation of infrastructure, conduct of competitions, impart training to the talented young boys and girls, financial assistance to sports organizations, award of scholarship, incentives & pension to promising and veteran sports persons and various other programmes.  All these information are put into a “Website” for the benefit of general sports loving people and aspiring sports persons of the State.
