Sports is a powerful medium to keep the youth away from drugs and also to develop health, discipline, team spirit and self-confidence: DC Aparajita

Kaithal, Nov 2 (UNI) As part of the Member of Parliament's Sports Festival, sports competitions for the Kaithal Assembly constituency were inaugurated at the Maharaja Surajmal Jat Stadium by Deputy Commissioner Aparajita on Monday.
DC Aparajita said that the sports competitions being held at the assembly level as part of the Sansad Khel Mahotsav are important initiatives towards the physical and mental development of youth.
Sports not only keep the body healthy, but also develop qualities like discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship in children. Sports provide the ability to face life's challenges, learn from defeat, and move forward with determination, she observed.
She said that keeping youth away from evils like drug addiction is a major challenge in today's times. In such a situation, there is no better medium than sports to connect children and youth with positive activities. Sports not only channelize youth's energy in a constructive direction, but also develop self-confidence, mental strength, and leadership skills.
Expressing gratitude to MP Naveen Jindal, she said that organizing such sports competitions provides opportunities for talents from rural and urban areas to thrive.
Member of Parliament's office in-charge, Ravindra Dhiman, stated that the Sansad Khel Mahotsav was initiated nationwide under the inspiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and is currently ongoing.
Under the leadership of Kurukshetra Lok Sabha constituency MP Naveen Jindal, the festival is being organized in Kurukshetra and Kaithal from October 31. He added that MP Naveen Jindal has allocated a cash prize of ₹2 crore for the athletes. Participants are also being provided with T-shirts, caps, and other amenities, including catering.
He informed that the Sansad Khel Mahotsav is being organized in all nine assembly constituencies of the Kurukshetra Lok Sabha constituency. In the same vein, athletes from the Kaithal assembly constituency are also participating in the competitions with great enthusiasm.
The main objective of this festival is to provide a suitable platform for the hidden sporting talents in villages, so that the athletes can showcase their talent and bring glory to their village, city, and country.
On this occasion, District Child Welfare Council President Bhimsen Agarwal, Municipal Council Chairperson Surabhi Garg, MD Sugar Mill Krishna Kumar, MP Office Incharge Ravindra Dhiman along with other officers and coaches were present. UNI SS CDS
