Preneet Kaur hails proposed Patiala Sports University

PATIALA: Hailing the efforts of Punjab chief minister for announcing the Sports University in Patiala the Patiala MP Preneet Kaur and wife of CM Captain Amarinder Singh said that the proposed institution would not only give a major boost to sports in the state but also give a fillip to infrastructure development in Patiala.
The university, however, would accelerate the pace of strengthening the sports edge of the state, which had given some of the best sportspersons to the country over the years, she said while adding that the incumbent Congress government was committed to the promotion of sports and had initiated several steps for the same in the past two years.
“The Sports University would help in imbuing the youth of the state with a strong sense of fitness, which will make them better citizens and give them the necessary direction towards a better future for themselves and for Punjab,” said the newly elected Patiala MP.
“Sports is an ideal way to keep the youth away from drugs and other wrongdoings. The CM had not only paved the way for the holistic development of youth with this initiative but by fast-tracking the entire process had also ensured the commencement of the first session this year. With this university, Punjab would soon be sending many more excellent players to international sports competitions to bring greater laurels to the country”, she said further.
Preneet claimed that as the elected representative of the people, she would personally extend full support to the project and facilitate the government in every way to realize Patiala’s dream of becoming a world-class center for excellence in sports.
