A modern stadium is being constructed in the Khirsu development block of Pauri Garhwal district at a cost of approximately ₹5 crore. Construction work is now in its final stages. With the completion of the stadium, the youth and local athletes of the area will have access to better and more organized sports facilities within their own area. This ground in Khirsu has long been a major hub for sports activities and army recruitment preparation for the youth of the surrounding area. A large number of youth from the surrounding villages come here for running and physical exercises.
Once the modern stadium is complete, youth will have better facilities for various physical exercises, including running, beam, and long jump. This will particularly benefit those preparing for army recruitment and other physical fitness tests. The construction of the stadium will also promote sports activities in the Khirsu region. Local athletes will be able to use it to prepare for various sports competitions. This will provide an opportunity to showcase the hidden sports talent in the mountainous region and help connect youth with regular sports and physical activities.
Furthermore, better facilities will be available locally for organizing district-level sports competitions. The state government is making efforts at various levels to connect youth with sports and encourage sports talent. The construction of a modern stadium in Khirsu is an important initiative in this direction. With the stadium’s completion, youth will have less need to travel to distant areas for practice and will be able to access better sports facilities locally.
