"Our main vision is to make Arunachal Pradesh a vibrant state in sports through target oriented action plans for diverse activities including coaching, training, counselling," Tuki said during the concluding ceremony of the 1st Dorjee Khandu Memorial State Open Badminton Tournament here.
"My government has recently adopted a comprehensive Sports policy, which will provide adequate incentives to sportspersons and boost sporting events. The pragmatic and uniform 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.
He hoped that by 2030 all basic pre-requisite needs of infrastructure and necessary technical back-up for development of sports and youth activities would be fulfilled in all districts, sub-divisions and block headquarters.
"Besides creation of infrastructure and technical back-up, we will also provide maximum opportunities and benefits to indigenous youths," he said adding that a pension scheme for welfare of distressed sports persons has also been incorporated while special focus would be laid on promotion of sports among girls and the physically challenged.
The CM also declared that from next year the state government would take over the tournament and facilitate its conduct through the Arunachal State Badminton Association (ASBA).
