Sonowal&#8217;s presence at Balijan South Playground energised the players and heightened the crowd&#8217;s excitement as Young Boys FC faced off against Balijan South FC in the tournament\u2019s final game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the event, Shri Sonowal emphasised the importance placed on increasing participation among children and youth. \u201cOver the last two years, Assam and the Northeast have witnessed significant transformation along with the rest of India, under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji,\u201d Sonowal said. \u201cSince the beginning of the BJP regime, Assam\u2019s sports sector has achieved remarkable success. The successful organisation of various national and international tournaments has established Assam as a key sports hub.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image002OGJE.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shri Sonowal also highlighted the state government\u2019s ambitious steps, guided by the state sports policy, which have laid a strong foundation for growth and development in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image003XCE4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Football is a popular sport in Assam and the Northeast.

Assam\u2019s \u2018Khel Maharat\u2019 initiative has created an excellent platform for players, as we see in today\u2019s competition. The people of Balijan extend their gratitude to the organisers,\u201d Sarbananda Sonowal added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image004LFM4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shri Sonowal was joined by MLA of Lahowal, Binod Hazarika; the Chairman of Assam Petro Chemicals Limited, Bikul Deka; the Chairman, Assam State Housing Board (ASHB), Pulak Gohain, the Chairman, Dibrugarh Development Authority (DDA), Ashim Hazarika, and Niranjan Saikia, along with Dibrugarh Chah Morcha, President, Pran Tanti and the Chairman, Assam Tourism Development Corporation, Rituparna Baruah, were among those present at the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports Achieves Revolutionary Growth under PM Narendra Modi, Assam Benefiting as Well: Shri Sarbananda Sonowal&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15696,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","category-sports"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
