He said, when he meet young girls and boys, I feel the confidence and motivation that sport gives them to succeed in life. Sport gives them the strength to shape their future and their communities. This is where we see the transformative power of sport in action. If we want to make a difference in the world today, we must engage with youth. Young people including many athletes are living in a new digital reality. Young people are digitally “always on”.

This new digital world has huge implications for the future of Sports. With the many options that youth have today we cannot expect them to naturally come to sport. We have to go where they are.  The challenge for us is to ensure that young people do not just move their fingers to move a mouse, or move their lips to give commands to a computer, or move their eyes only to watch a screen. Our task is to inspire people to practice sport, to move and engage in physical activity.

This also will have a very important opportunity to benchmark ourselves during the upcoming three upcoming National Games that is November 2018 the XXXVI NG in Goa, the XXXVII NG in Chattisgarh during 2019 and the XXXVIII NG in Uttrakhand during 2020. We request the State Government to take all steps in supporting and allocating adequate funds to the Meghalaya State Olympic Association and the various State Associations in Hosting the Meghalaya Games.
