New Delhi: In a significant step towards boosting sports and healthcare education in Chhattisgarh, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai calls on Union Minister of Labour & Employment, Youth Affairs and Sports Mansukh Mandaviya in New Delhi on Thursday July 31, 2025.

During the meeting, it was agreed that the Bastar Olympics will now be organised as “Khelo India Tribal Games” starting this year. This move is expected to not only bring national-level recognition to the talents of tribal youth but also place Chhattisgarh’s rich traditional sports culture on the global map.

CM Sai also proposed the establishment of 220-bed medical and nursing colleges in Raipur and Bilaspur, aimed at enhancing the quality of health education and expanding access to better medical facilities across the state. In response, Union Minister Mandaviya assured that the central government would soon take a positive decision and initiate the process for granting approval.

The Chief Minister further requested the establishment of a regional centre of the Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education (LNIPE) in Chhattisgarh, along with the development of new stadiums and training centres to strengthen the state’s sports infrastructure. Minister Mandaviya assured that approvals for these demands would also be expedited.

The meeting was also attended by Principal Secretary to CM, Subodh Kumar Singh and Secretary to CM Rahul Bhagat.
