ਪੰਜਾਬ’s First Indoor Volleyball Hall and Synthetic Tennis Court’s Foundation Stone Laid by Cabinet ਮੰਤਰੀ Sanjeev Arora.
SCD ਸਰਕਾਰ College Will Build Projects Valued at ₹4.37 Crore
Cabinet ਮੰਤਰੀ Sanjeev Arora on Saturday laid the foundation stone for ਪੰਜਾਬ’s first state-of-the-art indoor volleyball hall and a ਸਰਕਾਰ synthetic tennis court at SCD ਸਰਕਾਰ College, Ludhiana, marking a significant step toward fostering sports and developing talent in the region.
Mr. Sanjeev Arora and Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain commended the efforts made to make these projects a reality and guarantee prompt advancement of Ludhiana’s sports infrastructure development.
According to Cabinet ਮੰਤਰੀ Sanjeev Arora, the ₹3.6 crore Indoor Volleyball Hall will be ਪੰਜਾਬ’s first indoor volleyball facility. Players’ preparation and performance were negatively influenced by the intense heat, rain, and cold they had to endure while practicing and competing outside. Ludhiana’s volleyball players will be able to compete at a greater level thanks to this new arena, which will offer international-standard training conditions because volleyball is specifically an indoor sport at the Olympic level.
Furthermore, ₹77 lakh has been approved for the construction of the ਜ਼ਿਲ੍ਹਾ’s first ਸਰਕਾਰ synthetic court. Tennis players’ long-standing demand has now been satisfied, guaranteeing year-round, top-notch sports training that will immediately improve performance in national and international competitions.
According to Mr. Arora, the ਪੰਜਾਬ ਸਰਕਾਰ, led by ਮੁੱਖ ਮੰਤਰੀ Bhagwant Singh Mann, is totally dedicated to improving the state’s sports infrastructure. These Ludhiana initiatives serve as evidence of that goal. He underlined that the new synthetic tennis court and indoor volleyball hall will generate numerous winners who will honor ਪੰਜਾਬ and the nation. He continued by saying that these programs usher in a new era for sports in Ludhiana, giving athletes access to top-notch facilities and enhancing ਪੰਜਾਬ’s standing as a major force in Indian sports.
He added that the SCD ਸਰਕਾਰ College team has won the University Championship for 14 years running, demonstrating Ludhiana’s strength in volleyball. The ਸ਼ਹਿਰ’s rich athletic history is demonstrated by the fact that six to seven players on the Indian Volleyball Team are from Ludhiana. In order to significantly increase sports, Mr. Arora further said that over 3000 sports stadiums will be built in villages throughout the state in the upcoming days as part of an initiative by the ਪੰਜਾਬ ਸਰਕਾਰ. The “Khedan Vatan ਪੰਜਾਬ Dian” (Sports of the Homeland ਪੰਜਾਬ) project, he continued, has already been crucial in this area and has assisted in keeping young ਲੋਕ away from the threat of narcotics.
