The Chief Minister announced that the playgrounds will be constructed within three years, with a list of 113 panchayats identified for the initial phase of the project. Each playground is expected to cost around Rs. one crore. The Sports Department will cover half of the cost, while the remaining funds will be raised through various sources such as MLA and local body funds, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and public-private partnerships.
According to the Chief Minister, the playgrounds will serve as a central point for community gatherings and social interactions, which is the primary objective of the ‘One Panchayat, One Playground’ project. The initiative aims to tackle the lack of quality playgrounds in approximately 450 local bodies across the state.
