On Tuesday, the Maharashtra Cabinet greenlit a budget of ₹80.12 crore to expand the District Sports Complex in Gadchiroli's Phase-II. Deputy Chief Minister and Sports Minister Sunetra Ajit Pawar announced this, emphasizing the government's dedication to establishing international-level sports infrastructure. The initiative aims to engage youth from Naxal-impacted and remote regions, offering them chances to display their abilities and compete at state and national levels.
The project will provide athletes from Gadchiroli with access to state-of-the-art facilities, including a gymnasium, an indoor badminton hall with four courts, and a dome-type multi-purpose hall. The Directorate of Sports had submitted a proposal for this funding, which was approved by the High-Powered Committee on June 17, 2026.
Following the Cabinet's approval on Tuesday, the funding is now set to proceed. Pawar expressed optimism that this decision would significantly enhance the sporting culture in Gadchiroli.
