The Cabinet today approved Rs 139.16 crore for construction of a new sports complex in Najafgarh, southwest Delhi, where presently only one stadium owned by the Directorate of Education (DoE) is available for use of students from eight government schools.
The sports complex will come up at Kair Village in Najafgarh, where the DoE felt that it does not have any sports stadium or sports complex in rural areas of Najafgarh and its nearby villages.
The DoE found that school students, especially from the rural areas there, go for sports practices either in the small stadium or in their respective school playgrounds. The area has several villages that include Mitraon, Surehra, Rawta, Chhawla, Issapur, Kair, Paprawat, Khaira, Dhansa, etc.
