Kodagu's Sporting Legacy Adds Another Milestone

Gonikoppal, June 25: Our Kodagu district is literally the homeland of sports. There is a sports spirit in the soil here. However, it is inevitable for talented athletes to go to other districts or states to get national-level training, and those days will be far away. A dream project for sports enthusiasts has been launched in V. Badaga village of Bittangala Gram Panchayat of Virajpet taluk.

The construction work of a new sports residential complex, equipped with an estimated cost of Rs 45 crore, is in full swing in V. Badaga village near Virajpet. This is not just a building, but a promising center for the young athletes of Kodagu. This project, which is the long-awaited and dream child of Virajpet MLA A.S. Ponnanna, is no doubt going to be a milestone in the sports history of Kodagu.

National level state-of-the-art facilities, training and accommodation for athletes are being made available under one roof. The fact that training facilities available in foreign states are now available in our Kodagu will be a boon for the athletes of Kodagu.

If this sports complex is ready, sports enthusiasts hope that a large number of international level athletes will be seen from Kodagu in the coming days. This visionary project of the MLA of the constituency will play a big role in taking the talents of the rural areas to the global level. The time is near for another feather to be added to the sports crown of our Kodagu.

For the first time in Kodagu, high priority is being given to sports, and the construction work of the first phase of the sports complex has also begun at a cost of about Rs. 45 crores. South Kodagu V. On an 11.50 acre land in Badaga, a modern stadium, international standard facilities, swimming pool and other facilities will be available in this complex

Modern facilities in gym and indoor games will be available in this complex.

This is the biggest project in the Kodagu district, the home of sports, and a total of Rs 45 crore is being allocated for this project in order to further encourage sports. A borewell has been dug for the water system in the complex. Adequate water system is available. The first phase of construction work is in full swing

Contribution of Rajya Sabha members

Ajay Maken, a native of Delhi, contested the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka. Rajya Sabha member Ajay Maken has decided to allocate the entire grant of his 6-year Local Area Development Fund for the sports complex. The grant released in phases every year is being utilized for this project.

MLA Ponnanna has the opportunity to bring funds for the development of the area due to the closeness of Rajya Sabha member Ajay Maken. Also, since the Karnataka government has released special funds for this project in this year's budget, a large amount of funds will be sanctioned for this project in a phased manner.
