"My government has recently adopted a comprehensive sports policy, which will provide adequate incentives to sportspersons and boost sporting events. The pragmatic and uniform sports policy will broad base sports activities in the state so that people from different parts of the society get a fair chance to show their talent at all levels," Tuki said.
