The extreme western state of India, named Gujarat, is a region represent ting mainly business and trading class. Where the population, has been primarily engaged in small or larger scale industries apart from agriculture, as occupation.
And,
For time perpetual, the Gujaratis belonging to this land, carried an image that tainted their otherwise progressive illustration. They may have achieved excellence in every field like industrial, educational or agricultural sphere, but they lacked their dominance in Sports.
Sports had never been the forte of Gujarat and Gujaratis and hardly any noteworthy accomplishment were registered on the name of people hailing from this state...
But,
Not any longer..
Now,
The visionary C.M. of the state has taken it up as a challenge to take sports and games to every door of the state, weather that of rich or poor.
To accomplish this task, The Khel Maha Kumbh has been organized in Ahmedabad. On the event of Swarnim Gujarat, this is a exceptional fete, that Gujarat has achieved. Inaugurated by Hon. C.M. Shri Narendra Modi, on 20th November 2010, at Police Stadium of Ahmedabad. The flame, especially created from ‘Panch dhatu’ for this event., The world champion of Chess, Shri Vishwanath Anand, received the flame from the hands of Shri Modiji and commenced the event. The flame was passed on to Lajja Goswami, the winner of medal at recently concluded Common wealth games. Lajja hails from Gujarat. She led the Team Gujarat in the procession which would visit all 26 districts, 7 metro cities in 33 jeeps and 1087 motor bikes. The event was a spectacular show of culture and traditional dances. Those among the celebrities who marked their presence, were Anshul Kothari [Swimming], Arjun Award winner in Badminton- Parul Parmar, international Kabbadi player Tushar Arothe, Ami Ghia [Badminton], Ex. Olympian of Hockey Ajitsinh Pal, Ex. wicketkeeper of Indian Cricket Team and ex. Chairman of selection board of Cricket Shri Kiran More, Tejas Wakare and Aparna Popat.
The objective of organizing Khel Maha Kumbh, is to promote the hidden strength and capacity to excel in various sports among the poorest of poor. Those who are not so fortunate to receive the ultra hi-tech facilities to advance their potentials in obtaining superiority, can be presented with a platform to tap their sprouting ability.
Sports projects sportsman spirit, tolerance and respect for the competitor.
Sports is also the representative of physical fitness and ‘never say die attitude’.
Thus,
As a result of Khel Maha Kumbh, India will receive the next generation of Physically fit and mentally courageous Gujaratis, contributing their valuable skill to Brighter India.
Vande Gujarat..
Vande Mataram..
