Emphasising the need to strengthen sports infrastructure and promote grassroots participation, the Governor highlighted the importance of initiatives such as Khelo India and the role of the Tripura Sports Council in identifying and nurturing young sporting talent. He stressed that financial constraints should never become an obstacle for promising athletes in pursuing their sporting dreams.

He further underlined the importance of quality coaching, financial assistance, sports medicine, physiotherapy and proper nutrition in improving the overall performance of sportspersons. He also called for identifying talent at an early age through school-level competitions and physical education programmes.

Highlighting women’s participation in sports, the Governor said that women athletes are breaking traditional barriers and inspiring the next generation of girls to pursue sports. He described the participation of players from around 14 states as a significant celebration of women’s empowerment, national unity and sporting excellence.

Encouraging the participating teams, he urged the players to uphold discipline, determination, team spirit and true sportsmanship throughout the competition.

The Governor also observed that basketball is not merely a game of physical strength and scoring points but also teaches essential values such as skill, coordination, discipline, mutual trust and collective effort. He expressed hope that the tournament would provide a valuable platform for young women athletes to showcase their abilities, strengthen their competitive spirit and build friendships beyond geographical boundaries.

He added that inter-university sports competitions play an important role in promoting unity, mutual understanding and a spirit of healthy competition among young people from different parts of the country.

Among those present at the inaugural ceremony were Tripura University Vice-Chancellor Prof. Debabrata Das, Padma Shri awardee and renowned gymnast Dipa Karmakar, Arjuna Award recipient Mantu Debnath, Registrar Prof. Samir Kumar Shil and Organising Committee Secretary Prof. Prasanta Kumar Das, along with other distinguished guests, university officials, faculty members and participating players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
