(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Leh- Ladakh Lt Governor Kavinder Gupta on Saturday launched the Union Territory's sports policy, which seeks to establish a Sports Council for focussed talent identification and infrastructure development.

A key feature of the policy is the establishment of the Ladakh Sports Council, which will provide a strong institutional framework for coordinated development of sports, an official spokesman said.

He said the council will work closely with sports associations on infrastructure development, coaching support, financial assistance and long-term planning.

Launching the Ladakh sports policy in presence of chief secretary Ashish Kundra, the Lt Governor said it provides a clear and structured roadmap for developing a strong sports culture from the school level to high-performance sports.

“The policy is based on the principle of 'scout, facilitate and recognize', focusing on early identification of talent, provision of quality infrastructure and coaching, and recognition of sporting achievements,” Gupta said.
