Itanagar, Oct 22: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General KT Parnaik (Retd.) underscored the urgent need to strengthen the Olympic movement in the State by systematically identifying, nurturing, and promoting young talents with the potential to shine at national and international platforms, including the Commonwealth and Olympic Games.
He said this during a call on with the state Sports Minister Kento Jini at Raj Bhavan, Itanagar, today. They discussed strengthening the State Olympic Association, enhancing talent scouting through sports medicine, and honouring outstanding achievers who have brought pride to Arunachal Pradesh.
He underscored the importance of integrating sports medicine and scientific training to help athletes perform at their highest potential while ensuring their long-term health and well-being.
Parnaik also encouraged the Minister to actively promote adventure sports such as mountaineering, canoeing, whitewater rafting, and mountain biking, fields where the youth of Arunachal Pradesh can truly excel. He said that the youth of the State are gifted with strength, resilience, and courage, and what they need is the right guidance, training, and opportunities to channel their energy and talent.
Parnaik further stressed the importance of celebrating achievers, especially the Everesters of Arunachal Pradesh, who have scaled the world’s highest peak and brought immense glory to the State. Their journeys, he said, are powerful symbols of determination, courage, and the indomitable human spirit.
The Governor suggested organizing interactive sessions between these achievers and young students across schools and colleges. Such interactions, he noted, would ignite ambition, inspire dreams, and instill in the youth the belief that with discipline and perseverance, nothing is impossible.
Parnaik shared a vision with the minister of transforming Arunachal Pradesh into a hub of sporting excellence, where every young person is empowered to dream higher, train harder, and make the State and the nation proud.
