Under such situations, the youths of the state can be easily swept away.
So, we need to occupy the minds of the youths in games and sports to keep them away from drugs.
MLA L Ibomcha observed that it would be of great help to the clubs and associations if the state government helps them financially in grooming good sportspersons since it requires a lot of financial involvement in bringing out good sportspersons.
MLA RK Anand noted the need for setting up of a playground for TRAU and said if we are to groom sportspersons we also need to build good playground for the players.
MLA Rk Imo expressed satisfaction over the activities of TRAU in bringing out good number of sportspersons and appealed to continue the good work.
