The state government announced plans to construct a sports complex equipped with a helipad in each of the 230 constituencies of Madhya Pradesh.
The Madhya Pradesh government has unveiled an ambitious scheme to set up a dedicated sports complex in every legislative constituency across the state. Each facility will be designed to meet international standards and will include a helipad to facilitate swift movement of athletes, officials and equipment.
The complexes are expected to house a range of indoor and outdoor arenas, training gyms, swimming pools and accommodation for sports personnel. By integrating a helipad, the administration aims to ensure rapid access for emergency medical services and to attract high‑profile tournaments that require quick logistical support.
Officials say the initiative seeks to broaden grassroots participation, nurture talent in remote areas and position Madhya Pradesh as a hub for national and regional sporting events. The rollout is planned over the coming years, with construction to begin in select constituencies before expanding statewide.
If implemented as outlined, the network of 230 sports hubs could generate employment, boost local economies and provide a lasting legacy for the state's sporting culture.
