Mao Students' Union's Olympics 2023 that commenced on December 27 at Chowainamei Khunou ground with the participation of Mao villages from across Manipur and neighbouring state numbering 1704 athletes competing in 30 events, concluded on Sunday.
The valedictory function held at Chakhremei football Ground was held with Principal Accountant General of Manipur Athikho Chalai as chief guest and Autonomous District Council (Senapati) chairman A Kapani as guest of honour.
Speaking on the occasion, Athikho Chalai noted with regret that contemporary youths have a tendency to pick out negativity of any individuals instead of praising their positivity, and emphasised that one should change such attitude for betterment of the state, particularly the Mao tribe.
Pointing out that Mao people are hard-working and sincere, he advised the youths to embrace the same practice and spirit.
In his address, A Kapani reminded that the present generation has ample opportunity in every field while pointing out that the government of Manipur has recently launched seven schemes including two aimed at aiding development of sports infrastructure and wellbeing of sportspersons.
The state as well as the central government has been supporting players with financial assistance in case he/she secures medal at national, state or international level of competitions, he said and exhorted the Mao youngsters to take sports as a serious profession.
