Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the State government aims to ensure that every ward in every local body in Kerala has a playground.
Inaugurating the state-of-the-art Cyber Sports Arena at Government Cyberpark in Kozhikode on Friday through videoconferencing, the Chief Minister said the government’s comprehensive sports policy, which put special emphasis on the healthcare of people, was ready to roll out. Besides setting up one playground in every ward, the policy envisaged a sports economy to improve infrastructure in the sports sector and provide world-class sports facilities, he said.
As India’s IT exports would touch $350 billion in the next two years, Kerala would play an important role, creating five lakh jobs in the IT sector, said Mr. Vijayan, recounting the growth of the IT sector in the State recently and the efforts made by the government.
