Budget 2014 has brought good news for sportspersons. The NDA government is planning academies across India, with special focus on Manipur and Jammu and Kashmir. In a good move, the government will build a sports university in Manipur. The government will spend Rs 100 crore on Manipur, a state that has produced several international athletes over the years. Olympic bronze medallist boxer MC Mary Kom is from Manipur and several players in the national hockey team come from the north-eastern state. The state is also famous for its archers, footballers and power events like weightlifting and boxing.
International events will be held in North and North-East India where countries like Nepal and Bhutan will be invited, Jaitley told the Parliament during his Budget 2014 speech on Thursday. The government has also allocated Rs 100 crore for training of sportspersons for the Asian Games in South Korea later this year.
