Along with making the youth realise the significance of sports, steps should also be taken to provide proper training to sportspersons, Minister for Labour and district in charge Santosh Lad has said.
Inaugurating the three-day 70th Inter-Collegiate Athletics Meet, hosted by the Karnatak Arts College at R.N. Shetty Stadium in Dharwad on Saturday, the Minister said that while sports required more priority in the present day, the youth should also realise the importance of it.
Making an appeal to the youth not to get distracted in their prime years and become victims of bad habits, he said sports helped one to develop a fighting spirit and team building.
