In his presidential speech, Dr. Kirsan said that, sports can create an atmosphere of harmony and sportsmanship spirit. However, instead of providing sports facilities to the budding sportspersons, the present government has taken a decision to give the playing fields and stadiums to the private people. Due to this privatization, the government is depriving the poor players of proper sports facilities.
This government is working to eliminate government jobs also by adopting contractorization. Due to privatization of public sector enterprises and the decision to fill the posts in government offices on contractual basis the unemployed youths are going to face difficulties in employment, said Dr. Kirsan. He appealed the youth to choose the right government while keeping these issues in mind during the next elections.
Mr. Arvind Katratwar, Vishwajeet Kowase also spoke on the occasion and extended their best wishes to the players and organizers. A large number of youths and cricket lovers attended the event.
