RSP to improve sports facilities with infrastructure upgrade.

In his Independence Day speech, Atanu Bhowmick, the Director Incharge of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), announced some exciting news for the sports enthusiasts of this town. RSP is planning to carry out a major overhaul and modernisation of sports facilities, with a budget of Rs 11 crore. This step is expected to provide a huge boost to the promising sportspersons in Rourkela and Sundargarh district.

The key projects of this modernisation plan include the renovation of Ispat Stadium in Sector-VI. This stadium will now have four multistorey changing rooms with comprehensive facilities for the players. In addition, full lighting, a sprinkler system with water connection and storage, and repairs of the boundary walls and VIP area shades will also be done. The football ground and cycling tracks will also undergo renovations, ensuring top-notch facilities for the players.

Not just the Ispat Stadium, but other sports facilities in Rourkela are also going to witness some major enhancements. At the Ispat Basketball Complex, a new shed will be constructed for the benefit of the players. The Biju Patnaik hockey stadium complex will also see some improvements, with the fencing of the new volleyball ground and the installation of new lights. Additionally, a seating area will be developed for the players to rest and recharge.

But that's not all, as RSP is also focusing on upgrading the Biju Patnaik hockey stadium itself. With a budget of Rs 3 crore, new floodlights will be installed to further enhance the stadium's facilities. It's worth mentioning that RSP had already given a complete transformation to the stadium in 2023, with the installation of a new state-of-the-art synthetic turf, sprinklers, and other facilities at an expenditure of about Rs 12 crore. The locals are excited about this modernisation plan, as it will undoubtedly be a huge boost for the sport of hockey in the town.
