Lucknow. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday addressed the inaugural ceremony of the 73rd ‘All India Police Wrestling Cluster-2024’. During this, he said that the whole country is watching the spirit of Indian players in the Paralympics. Congratulating the participants in the competition, Chief Minister Yogi said that sports and sports activities have been important in the tradition of India since ancient times. Sports, yogasana, pranayama etc. are very important for a healthy body. Only a healthy body can realize the concept of a capable society and a strong nation. After becoming the Prime Minister in 2014, Narendra Modi presented programs for the concept of ‘Developed India’, in which sports and sports activities are also important. ‘Khelo India’, Fit India Movement, MP Sports Competition, Village-National Level Competitions are being organized. People from every section are joining these events. He said that the whole country and the world is watching the spirit of the Indian players in the Paralympics in Paris and how our players have proved their talent and brilliance by giving excellent performances.
This scene is also a matter of joy for us because it is also realizing the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’. Sports not only connects with the feeling of dedication towards one’s work, but also inspires to win at every turn of ups and downs in life. It also gives the ability to stop the evil attempts of creating obstacles in the lives of others by being overjoyed. If success is not achieved due to some reasons, then it also creates the ability to accept it with grace in every player and life goes on with this. Many times defeat also paves the way for a big victory. Addressing the present jawans of the Police Force, the CM said that whether it was an issue of national security or the issue of creating an excellent environment of law and order and security in different states. The police tries to discharge its responsibilities with full commitment and honesty, but despite all this, it is equally constructive to be associated with other activities that connect the society, create trust in each other’s minds and hence not only policing, but we also have to be associated with other constructive works. CM Yogi said that under the guidance of PM Modi, a comprehensive action plan has been taken forward for sports and sports activities in Uttar Pradesh.
We also made a sports policy. Action is being taken to make the players who win medals in Olympics, Commonwealth, Asian Games and World Championships a part of Uttar Pradesh Police Force through direct recruitment. So far, we have associated more than 500 such players with the process of direct recruitment in Uttar Pradesh Police. Their excellent performance is contributing to giving new momentum to Uttar Pradesh Police Force today. Uttar Pradesh is the state that is taking forward the program of building playgrounds in 57,000 gram panchayats, mini stadiums in 825 development blocks and stadiums in 75 districts on a war footing to promote sports activities. CM Yogi said that the names may be different, but everyone’s work and mission is the same and that is the security of India. Be it the Indo-Nepal border or the Indo-Bhutan border, the SSB is making great efforts to protect these borders without affecting India’s social, cultural and political relations with these countries. Uttar Pradesh has a 550 km long border with Nepal. Uttar Pradesh police takes part in joint patrolling with SSB. If we fulfill the responsibility of national security together, we will also earn the trust of the common people in the border areas.
