UP CM Yogi Adityanath launches ‘One District One Sport’ scheme

The Uttar Pradesh government’s ambitious One District One Product (ODOP) scheme has received praise at the national level for helping in the revival of traditional crafts in the state. Now, on similar lines, the government has launched the One District One Sport (ODOS) programme for promoting local sporting talent. The Yogi Adityanath government hopes the ODOS programme will become a platform to create sportspersons who can represent the state at the national and international level. According to officials, one sport will be identified in each of the 75 districts of UP. Steps will be taken to find district-wise sport-specific talent and groom them.
