SHILLONG, December 15 2021: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma Tuesday laid the Foundation Stone for the Upgradation of JN Sports Complex in Shillong at a function that was held at the Sports complex to mark the event which was also attended by Minister Sports & Youth Affairs Banteidor Lyngdoh and Minister C & RD Hamlet Dohling.
Speaking during the occasion Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said that the long pending project was required in the Sports sector as the stadium was getting a facelift after almost thirty years. “The upgradation of the JN Sports Complex with an Indoor Stadium funded by NDB (New Development Bank), the P A Sangma Sports Complex at Tura with Outdoor and Indoor Stadiums, a Sports Complex at Nartiang and other projects all over the State, all amounting to more than 400 crore is a major investment towards the Sports sector in the interest of our youth and sportspersons,” he said.
He also informed that the Sports Complex will house a number of facilities and host activities that are important for the youth. He also spelled a number of programmes in the pipeline for the youth and the sportsmen which would be a part of the Golden Jubilee celebration of the State.
Further, the Chief Minister urged the youth and aspiring athletes to not just take up Sports as just playing a game. “Sports impart valuable lessons of discipline, hard work, team work, perseverance, accepting defeat but not giving up and these qualities build up your Character which will ultimately define your life and career,” he said.
The young athletes also displayed a drill on seven disciplines of Sports. The function was also attended by Commissioner & Secretary, Sports & Youth Affairs Dr Vijay Kumar, Secretary Information & Public Relations, M War Nongbri and Director Sports & Youth Affairs, W Booth.
