The Haryana government announced a comprehensive mapping of all sports facilities across the state to aid future development and investment.
The Haryana administration has launched a state-wide initiative to catalogue every sports venue, training centre and related infrastructure within its borders. The exercise aims to create a detailed database that will inform policy decisions, allocation of funds, and the identification of gaps in existing facilities.
Officials from the Sports and Youth Affairs Department said the mapping will involve on‑ground verification, satellite imagery and inputs from local bodies. The collected data will be digitised and made accessible to planners, coaches and private investors seeking to upgrade or establish new amenities.
The move comes as part of Haryana's broader strategy to boost its sporting profile ahead of upcoming national and international events. By having a clear picture of current assets, the state hopes to streamline upgrades, attract sponsorships and nurture talent at the grassroots level.
The Hindustan Times reported the announcement, noting that the survey will be conducted over the next few months and will cover both urban and rural areas.
