Noney, July 20 2021:
Noney Battalion of 22 Sector AR/Inspector General Assam Rifles (East) distributed sports items to the youths of Bolongdai village at Company Operating Base Nungba in Noney district.
According to the AR unit, the items were presented under the government's "Khelo India" scheme and with the stated objective to foster a spirit of sportsmanship and encourage physical fitness among the youth.
As remote villages do not have adequate means and facilities for sports the Noney Battalion provided sports items with the hope that these small initiatives will bring positivity among the youth, it said.
While interacting with the Bolongdai youth, adequate emphasis was also laid about the importance of engaging in sports and also educated them about various career opportunities in the sports like sportsmen, coaches, physical trainer and other support staff.
