Centre Approves Rs 6.5 Crore Khelo India Synthetic Track
The Central government has approved the construction of a new sports track in Jammikunta, a town in Karimnagar district.
This track is very special because it will be made of synthetic material and will follow international standards.
The government is spending Rs 6.5 crore on this project under the Khelo India scheme.
A minister named Bandi Sanjay Kumar helped make this happen.
The track will be built at a college and will help young athletes from nearby areas to train and become better at sports.
The minister wants the state government to finish building the track quickly so that athletes can start using it soon.
This is part of a bigger plan to improve sports facilities in rural areas so that more young people can compete in national and international sports events.
The Central government approved a Rs 6.5 crore synthetic athletics track in Jammikunta, Karimnagar district under the Khelo India scheme.
The track will be a 400-metre, four-lane facility built to World Athletics standards at the Government Degree College grounds.
