BOKARO: The Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) is going to launch many new schemes related to health and fitness for youths residing in rural areas of the Bokaro district.
The management of the plant said it is planning to open gyms, fitness centres and organise sports activities in the villages where the residents are displaced by its industrial projects. Notably, people in these displaced villages are agitating against BSL, demanding jobs and returning unused lands.
BSL’s chief of communication, Manikant Dhan, said, “The director-in-charge of BSL, Amarendu Prakash, has announced that 2021 will be celebrated as a ‘Sports Year’ to motivate everyone and to get themselves involved in sports activities for a healthy life. In this process, BSL is developing sports facilities in the township and also adjoining rural areas. Development of playgrounds and opening of day-boarding centres for sports is a part of the initiative.”
He further said, “We are going to launch many new health schemes like gyms, fitness centres and sports activities in the displaced villages. BSL will begin these activities soon by installing it first at two displaced villages and in the township.”
In the second phase, two fitness centres will be opened in other villages. The villages are being selected after discussing with the people concerned. The stipulated time frame for implementing these schemes is three months, Dhan added.
The steel major will also make efforts to provide necessary assistance like training and sports kits among others to the sportspersons apart from identifying talents and nurturing them.
Earlier on August 8, BSL installed a modern state-of-the-art indoor badminton hall at the sports complex in Sector 4 in its bid to give a fillip to the sporting activities in the city.
It has also made initiatives to open day boarding centres for volleyball and basketball and start grassroots training camps for hockey (6-12 age group) in the town and adjoining rural areas.
