Office space for Sports Associations

The Ministry of Sports expects to develop each and every sport in the country and form a common sports culture under National policy to develop sports in the country. To achieve this Ministry of Sports has advised to provide office space at Kettarama to all Sports Associations that do not currently have an office space for them to conduct their activities.

With proper communication between the Ministry and the Sports Associations, national sports in the country can be nourished. If this is successful, it will be possible to bring talented youth from the rural areas to the national level and to develop them to reach the international arena, to represent the country.

Though 52 Sports Associations have been established in the country, most of them do not have a permanent office space. The lack of an office space has become a hindrance to these associations to carry out their activities smoothly. Therefore, the Ministry of Sports has decided to provide permanent office space to these Sports Associations, so that they can carry out their correspondence can be carried out efficiently.

Further, the Ministry states that steps will be taken to provide necessary assistance to those who do not have the facilities to create a website of their own and to provide them with the technical know how for this purpose.

Steps will also be taken to educate the public on all Sports via internet. Furthermore, arrangements will be made to link all websites of the Associations to the Sports Ministry website, so that all information can be accessed from one central point.
