Several sportspersons from Lucknow have written to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, expressing their gratitude for the development of a dedicated skating ground at the Janeshwar Mishra Park in Gomti Nagar. In their letter, they described the project as a testament to visionary and youth-centric leadership, providing a safe and modern environment for children who previously practiced on roads.
From Streets to Stadium
The athletes highlighted that the government has taken them from the streets to the stadium, and now their goal is to progress from the stadium to the international stage. They recalled meeting the Chief Minister on July 16, 2022, where they presented their concerns. The assurance given that day has now materialized into the skating rink, fulfilling a long-standing demand.
Impact on Young Athletes
Young skaters using the facility expressed their joy and determination, noting that the new ground offers a professional environment to hone their skills. They believe this infrastructure will help them compete at national and international levels. The facility is expected to nurture future champions and promote skating as a sport in the region.
The development marks a significant step in promoting sports infrastructure in Uttar Pradesh, aligning with the state's focus on youth empowerment and sports development.
