Rs 256 crore is a significant investment. While the intent is noble, I hope there is strict oversight on the quality of construction and no cost overruns. We've seen many such projects get delayed. The CM must ensure the timeline is met.

The little girl's comment is so cute and pure! "To meet Pushkar Singh Dhami" 😄. Beyond that, an integrated training and education system is exactly what's needed. Hope they also focus on sports science, nutrition, and mental conditioning.

Visiting from the UK and it's impressive to see this scale of investment in women's sports in a mountainous region. The facilities list sounds comprehensive. The key will be sustained funding for operations and coaching staff after it's built.

Bahut badhiya! Uttarakhand has produced some great athletes. A dedicated college like this will provide a proper system. Hope they include traditional sports like wrestling and archery too, not just football and hockey.

This is wonderful news. Equal opportunity in sports is so important. The hostel for 300 girls is a crucial part—it allows them to focus fully. I hope the selection process is fair and reaches the most deserving candidates.
