Punjab has been one of the eminent states that pays attention to the development of sports in the country. It was quite evident as 32 medalists, including the team events, in India's medal overhaul of 107 medals at the 19th Asian Games this year in Hangzhou, China belonged to the state.
Tajinder Pal Singh Toor's gold in men's shotput, Middle distance runner Harmilan Bains' twin silver medals in 1500m and 800m, and rifle shooter Sift Kaur Samra's gold and silver medals were among the top performances from Punjab players at the continental event in Hangzhou.
The Punjab Sports Department is running various schemes to nurture budding athletes and it all starts from a robust infrastructure at its disposal. In July this year, Punjab Sports Minister Gurmeet Singh promised that 1000 sports nurseries will be set out. This will certainly empower the state to produce more talents on a larger scale down the line.
Let's take a look at the present facilities which boasts of Punjab's sports culture.
