The Government of Jammu and Kashmir has kept special focus on the sports activities and events in order to give a boost to local talent.

Sports infrastructure is coming up in all the rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir so that the local talent is encouraged to take part in sports activities.

Recently LG Manoj Sinha inaugurated the 6th Senior Asian Pencak Silat Championship being held in Srinagar. The event brings together over 150 athletes from different countries.

He extended his greetings to the members of sporting fraternity, jury members and welcomed all the guests to enjoy the hospitality and incredible sights of Jammu Kashmir during the wonderful tournament.

Over the next five days we will celebrate and honour the individual strength and sporting excellence.

He observed that the ongoing sporting events across Jammu Kashmir have kindled hopes and it is a sign of a robust sports culture in the society.

In the last two years, we have formulated and implemented a strategic sports development plan which is paying us the dividend.

He said that better infrastructure together with experts and outstanding coaches have brought a major shift in training programmes. We have also implemented a new sports policy and offered attractive career options for the sportspersons.
