While the intent is praise-worthy, I hope this isn't just another photo-op. We need sustained efforts and regular maintenance of these facilities, not just one-time events.

UP is changing for the better! From roads to sports, development is visible. My cousin in a village near Gorakhpur says they have a new badminton court. Small steps, big impact.

Hope they focus on women's participation too. Encouraging girls from rural areas to take up sports can be truly empowering. More power to initiatives like this! 🙌
