Infrastructure facilities must be developed to encourage students from rural areas
Citing a 50-acre land parcel near Surya Nagar, which was earlier earmarked for an Anna University project, the association said it could accommodate training facilities for multiple disciplines. Madurai: With athletes from southern Tamil Nadu forced to travel to Chennai for training in several Olympic disciplines, Tamil Nadu All Players Association has urged the state govt to set up a sports village in Madurai. Such a facility would reduce dependence on Chennai and provide access to coaching and competition venues closer to home. Athletes from low-income families are particularly affected by the shortage of infrastructure. Travel, accommodation and training expenses in Chennai impose a financial burden, forcing some to compromise on training opportunities. Districts including Ramanathapuram, Tirunelveli and Kovilpatti region have produced sportspersons, but access to specialised training facilities remains limited.
