West Bengal to have a sports university, says Mamata Banerjee- Education News
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday announced a grant of Rs 50 lakh for infrastructural development of two century-old clubs – East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting.
After inaugurating East Bengal museum Raja Suresh Chandra Memorial Archive at its Maidan tent, Ms. Banerjee also said that her government would soon set up a sports university in the city. The museum houses reels of legendary matches, jerseys and kit of former players, books and documents chronicling the important events of the club. She said that she coined the ‘Khela Hobe’ slogan taking inspiration from this sport. ‘Khelahobe’ (game will be played) was TMC’s slogan for 2021 Assembly polls.
Banerjee assured that her government would support the dreams of the state’s sportspersons. Mamata said “We plan to start a dedicated university for sports so that the younger generations, who are interested in sports, do not have to go anywhere else. I promise you that we will always try to support every dream of our sportspersons.”
