Sports Kerala Limited to be set up as PSU for maintenance of stadiums

Minister V. Abdurahiman begins tour to hold consultations on sports policy formation

Kick-starting his tour of the State to hold consultations for the formulation of a comprehensive sports policy, Minister V. Abdurahiman said a new public sector undertaking, Sports Kerala Limited, would be formed in the current financial year to ensure timely maintenance of all sports stadiums in the State. “Maintenance of stadiums has been a niggling issue and we hope to resolve this permanently. This will keep our playgrounds alive all the time,” he said in Kochi on Monday. Workshops and consultations with stakeholders would be held for generating recommendations which would go into the making of the State’s sports policy. Issues such as the slump in performance of sportspersons after doing well at the junior-level should be studied, said the Minister.
