While it's good to promote sports, I wish the article focused more on the athletes and their achievements rather than just political praise. These players work hard for years. They are the real stars of this championship.

Hosting 1000+ players is no small feat. Varanasi's facilities have improved a lot. Hope this inspires more youth in UP to take up sports professionally. Volleyball is a great game that teaches teamwork, just like PM Modi said.

Good initiative, but we need consistent investment in sports infrastructure across all tier-2 and tier-3 cities, not just the prominent ones. That's how we will build a true sporting culture in India.
