Uttar Pradesh is set to significantly upgrade its sports infrastructure with the approval of 21 mini indoor stadiums in Government Inter Colleges across 17 districts. This ambitious project, a directive from the youth welfare department, will see each facility receive ₹4.92 crore for construction. The executing agency has been finalized, and the initial installment of funds has been released, signaling the project's commencement.
This initiative prioritizes secondary school students, offering them access to modern sports training and facilities. While initial proposals included 23 colleges, two were excluded due to land availability issues, ensuring the final list of 21 colleges across 17 districts meets all requirements for effective development.
The approved colleges are spread across key districts including Kanpur, Mathura, Varanasi, and Agra, among others. This widespread development promises to benefit a large number of students, fostering athletic talent and promoting a healthier lifestyle through enhanced sports opportunities.
