Dehra Dun: The state will receive the official letter related to this on November 9, 2023, at the conclusion of the ongoing National Games in Goa. The IOA has written a letter to the Uttarakhand government in this regard.
The 38th National Games were originally scheduled to be held in Uttarakhand in 2018, but were postponed due to incomplete preparations and the COVID-19 pandemic. The National Games are a multi-sport event held every four years, and are the second-largest sporting event in India after the Olympic Games.
The Uttarakhand government has welcomed the IOA’s decision to award the state the hosting rights for the 38th National Games. The state government has said that it is committed to making the games a success, and that it will provide all the necessary support to the IOA and the National Sports Federations.
The hosting of the 38th National Games is a major boost for sports in Uttarakhand. The games will help to promote sports in the state and will inspire the next generation of athletes. The games will also be a major economic opportunity for the state, as they are expected to attract a large number of visitors and generate significant revenue.
The Uttarakhand government has already begun preparations for the 38th National Games. The state government has identified seven venues for the games, including Dehradun, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Haldwani, Nainital, Rudrapur, and Gularbhoj. The state government is also constructing new sports infrastructure and renovating existing infrastructure.
The Uttarakhand government has also formed a high-powered committee to oversee the preparations for the games. The committee is headed by the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, and includes senior government officials and sports representatives.
