The Cabinet has approved an outlay of Rs. 4124 crore over a period of five years for construction of block level stadium in a phased manner.
As per the decision, each block level stadium will be developed on 8-10 acres of land and will have the components like football/ cricket field, clay athletic track with throw and jump area, volleyball, kho kho, kabaddi court, indoor hall (badminton, table tennis etc.), common facility centre etc.
The project aims to address critical gaps in rural sports infrastructure, particularly at the block level, where facilities remain underdeveloped.
Odisha, recognized as a rising sports hub in India, is committed to cultivating a vibrant sports culture. The construction of Block Level Stadiums marks a significant stride toward achieving this vision. By providing state-of-the-art facilities at the grassroots level, the project will not only serve as a pipeline for nurturing high- performance athletes but will also inspire citizens to adopt sports as a lifestyle, according to an official release issued by the Sports &Youth Services Department.
