Sports and youth development in Northeast India

Overview

Government officials in Northeast India are implementing various initiatives to enhance sports infrastructure and support youth development across several states.

In Mizoram, Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya pledged support to address infrastructure challenges, specifically for boxing, as India considers a bid for the 2036 Olympic Games. Concurrently, Arunachal Pradesh began developing a policy framework to improve institutional coordination and professional training for local youth.

Efforts expanded to include Tripura, where officials inaugurated youth football competitions and emphasized a “zero-tolerance policy against drugs.” In Mizoram, review meetings focused on implementing the Khelo India Scheme and utilizing the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan to prevent substance abuse through community coordination.
