Varanasi: Manzoor Ansari, Sports Officer, Uttar Pradesh Sports Department, says that encouraging sports at the school and university level is very important. Until the sports nursery is ready, our preparation at the national and international level will not be solidified. Events like the Khelo India University Games can nurture a new crop of players. The government has been successful in its mission to a large extent.

Dr. Manjoor, Sports Officer of Bhamirao Andbekar Sports Complex, Lalpur, says that the UP Sports Department offers All India University Games medal winners an opportunity to serve as part-time coaches. The trainer is also paid a good honorarium. There are many such private and government organizations which are providing job opportunities to medal winners in sports quota at university level. Many efforts are being made at the government level for the development of sports and athletes. That said, the picture has changed a lot in recent years. Its effect is also being seen. It was said that national and international players from various sports have been given jobs in the UP Police this week. According to Manzoor, if a player performs well, it is in the eyes of the selectors. After all, who doesn’t want to have better players on their team?

Manzoor Ansari says that a sport like wrestling has so far been dominated by players from rural backgrounds. But the result of Khelo India’s efforts is that now even urban youth are increasingly joining sports. This is a pleasant picture from a sporting point of view.
