VNSGU to set up Olympic-level gym
The Free Press Journal|October 09, 2024
As India prepares to host the 2036 Olympics, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) in Surat has taken a significant step to boost the country's Olympic aspirations.
VNSGU to set up Olympic-level gym

The university's Board of Management has approved a plan to construct a state-of-the-art gymnasium, specifically designed to train students in powerlifting and weightlifting. With a budget allocation of Rs 20 crore, this initiative aims to prepare young athletes for the global stage.

The move comes in response to India's underwhelming performance at the Paris Olympics, where the country's medal tally fell short of expectations. With the 2036 Olympics on the horizon, various states in India are gearing up to enhance their sports infrastructure to prepare the next generation of athletes. Gujarat, in particular, has been active in building new stadiums and sports facilities. VNSGU's decision to focus on weightlifting and powerlifting is a part of this broader national effort to strengthen India's sporting capabilities.
