Lucknow, October 16 - Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath paid tribute to the people of Uttar Pradesh on the sixth day of Sharadiya Navratri, extolling the qualities of Maa Katyayani, who represents the courage and tenacity of women. The CM emphasized the state's progress driven by faith, development, and heritage, highlighting the introduction of the 'Padak Lao, Pad Pao' scheme, which directly recruits sportspersons.
In a recent post on X, the Chief Minister lamented the fear and lawlessness under previous governments, where daughters' dreams were stifled due to lack of opportunities and sports grounds controlled by mafias. Since 2017, the state has witnessed a significant transformation, with the establishment of sports facilities ranging from village-level grounds to major sports universities, enabling daughters to pursue their sporting ambitions.
The government now offers substantial rewards to medal-winning athletes at international events, ensuring their continued success and providing them with the necessary resources. This transformation has had a positive impact on the nation's sporting prowess, with athletes from disciplines such as athletics, judo, cricket, hockey, and wrestling achieving remarkable success at the Commonwealth and Asian Games.
