While I appreciate the initiative, I hope the government ensures equal opportunities for girls in these programs. Sports development shouldn't be gender-biased.

As someone from Jharkhand, this makes me so proud! Our state has so much untapped sporting talent. Maybe we'll produce the next Messi from our tribal areas!

Interesting to see the mining museum visit too. Shows they're looking at multiple aspects of development. Hope the sports infrastructure plans consider local conditions though - not just copying European models.

Camp Nou redevelopment is massive! If they can bring even 10% of that expertise to Jharkhand, it would be game-changing. But implementation is key - hope this isn't just another photo-op.

Love seeing Indian states think globally for sports development! 🌍⚽ Hope other states follow this example. Maybe we'll finally see India qualify for FIFA World Cup in my lifetime!
