Agartala, 18th February 2025: A sports talent search competition was organized on Tuesday at the Kamalghat XII Grade School Ground in Mohanpur subdivision. The event aimed at identifying promising athletes from various schools under the Mohanpur Municipal Council and four block areas of the subdivision.
The competition was inaugurated by Minister Ratan Lal Nath in the presence of several dignitaries, including Mohanpur Municipal Council Chairman Anita Debnath, Bamutia Panchayat Samiti Chairman Deepak Kumar Sinha, Mohanpur Panchayat Samiti Chairman Rakesh Dev, and Joint Director of the Youth Welfare and Sports Department Paimang Mag.
This initiative was jointly undertaken by the Youth Welfare and Sports Department and the Tripura School Sports Board, with the support of Mohanpur Panchayat Samiti.
Speaking at the event, Minister Ratan Lal Nath emphasized the importance of such competitions in nurturing young talent. He stated that the winners at the sub-division level would proceed to the district-level competition, followed by the state-level tournament for those excelling at the district stage.
“This is a new initiative that has not been undertaken in the past. The children are the future of the country.
