Andhra Pradesh has added another feather to its cap as the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has approved 13 Khelo India Centres for the state. Earlier on Tuesday, Tourism and Sports Minister Muttamsetty Srinivas Rao had said Rs 7 lakh has been provided for each centre. 

‘Khelo India’ is a national programme introduced to revive the sports culture in India at the grass-roots level by building a strong framework for all sports. YSRCP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Vijayasai Reddy has welcomed the ‘good news’ saying, ‘only a fit society can contribute towards the health of the nation.’

In a good news, @YASMinistry has sanctioned 13 Khelo India centres to Andhra Pradesh, which will develop as nurseries of sports in the state. Only a fit society can contribute towards the health of the nation, and steps like Khelo India are vital to ensure the same.
