Sports Culture Flourishing Because of Lokmat Maha Games

The Lokmat Maha Games, an initiative aimed at strengthening sports culture at the school level and providing a platform to young talent from villages and towns across Maharashtra, has received strong praise from the state leadership. Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that due to Lokmat Maha Games, sports culture has once again become visible on the playground, and Lokmat's initiative to develop sports culture at the school level and to provide a major platform for the talents present in villages and towns is inspiring for the entire state. Praising the initiative, he said that the state government will always stand by such efforts.

The chief minister further said, "Lokmat Maha Games is a movement for the holistic development of students. Providing a platform for sports talent from all sections and developing sportsmanship, discipline, and self-confidence is an important task being undertaken by Lokmat. Through this initiative, Lokmat has created a beautiful confluence of the fields of sports and education. It is extremely essential to provide students with an appropriate platform in sports. Initiatives like this prove beneficial in developing competitiveness, team spirit, and leadership qualities during school life. Due to initiatives like 'Lokmat Maha Games', students are able to make proper use of their abilities."
