Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that sport is a power that channelizes the energy of youth in a positive direction. When a young person runs on the field, he stays away from drugs and becomes a disciplined partner in nation building.
Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini was addressing players at the inauguration ceremony of Haryana State Championship–2025 organised at Baragarh in Naraingarh. On this occasion, the Chief Minister also laid the foundation stone of a Hockey Astroturf field and a four-lane synthetic athletic track to be constructed at a cost of Rs 16.71 crore in this stadium. The Chief Minister also honoured boxer Harnoor Kaur, who won a silver medal at the Asian Games held in October.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has rightly stated that the player who gives his best performance on the field always moves ahead in life as well. He said the players of Haryana have proved these words true through their lives. Our land has for centuries been the land of warriors, sportspersons, and dedicated workers. Whether it is the Olympics, Asian Games, Commonwealth Games or National Championships, the sons and daughters of Haryana have always brought glory to the nation. For this, the sportspersons of the State deserve appreciation.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that he felt immense enthusiasm and excitement upon arriving at this sacred land of Baragarh. More than 4,000 energetic youths are participating in this event.
The Chief Minister said, “Let the youth’s voice echo on the field. Always think of victory, learn from defeat and never lose courage – rise high and shape your dreams.” He said through this Championship, players will be able to further enhance their level of performance.
