“Apart from excellence in innovation, our youth are scripting new success stories in the field of sports,” Sinha said addressing the gathering on the auspicious occasion of the 75th Republic Day at Maulana Azad Stadium here.

He said, “para-archer Sheetal Devi and Rakesh Kumar have changed the history of the game with their perseverance and dedication.”

“After three decades, international tournaments have started, and Jammu has positioned itself as a premier sports destination in the country,” he said.

“A sports village equipped with all facilities is being developed in Nagrota. All 60 stadiums in the Union territory have been made ready with all amenities and resources for night matches,” he added.
