Ghaziabad to Honor Athletes with Gallery of Fame at Stadium
Ghaziabad is building a special gallery at its main sports stadium to celebrate its top athletes.
This gallery will show off the achievements of local sports stars, including pictures, stories, and medals won by athletes.
The goal is to inspire young athletes and encourage more people to get involved in sports.
Instead of giving athletes cash prizes, the district will now give them sports equipment to help them train better.
This change is part of a larger plan to improve the stadium, with the government investing money to upgrade the facilities.
Athletes like Simran Sharma, Lakshay Phogat, and Pradeep Yadav will be featured.
A 'gallery of fame' will be established at Mahamaya Sports Stadium in Ghaziabad.
The gallery aims to promote sports and motivate young players.
It will display achievements of Ghaziabad athletes at national and international levels.
Athletes will receive sports equipment instead of cash prizes.
The stadium is undergoing renovation with a budget allocated by the state government.
