Along with this, he said that 60 new players will be recruited in the sports cell so that our sports cell can be further strengthened. The minister said that CM Mann himself shows interest in sports. This time we had kept a budget of Rs 979 crore for sports. During this, the focus is on sports. Playgrounds are being built in every village. Apart from this, there is a plan to set up a sports nursery. Along with this, he expressed the hope that now many players will provide their services to the department. The government will take such decisions in the future too.
