We appreciate the move of the Union Sports Minister of making a recommendation to the Union Home Ministry for additional grant of 100 crore rupees to boost sports in the State of J&K. We know that the State has the talent and proper opportunity should be provided to the youth to help them display their talent. Already 200 crore rupees have been provided in the budget for sports promotion in the State and this additional grant will definitely make it possible to reach larger number of youth in the State. It will also help in upgrading the infrastructure like the stadia, training, tournaments and even starting Jammu and Kashmir franchise of Indian Premier League (cricket) and Indian Super League (football). It has also suggested organizing tournaments of different water sports in the Kashmir valley.
