In January, the Empowering Mizoram Sports (EMS) programme was launched under the state’s flagship ‘Bana Kaih’ or handholding scheme to promote sports and groom talented youths.
The EMS programme aims to establish sports coaching and talent development programmes across Mizoram.
As part of this programme, basic coaching will be provided to children aged 8 to 15 years, focusing on preparing them for future competitions, particularly the 2036 Olympics.
The government has allocated Rs 2.5 crore for implementation of the programme. PTI CORR MNB
