Madhubani's 20-Year Wait Ends: High-Tech Sports Hub to Replace Neglected Lake

• Madhubani, famous for art, will soon have a modern sports complex after two decades of neglect.
• The stadium, built in 1987, became a ruin by 2005 due to political and administrative oversight, forcing athletes to train elsewhere.
• A budget of 20 crore 37 lakh 28 thousand rupees has been allocated for the project, with construction now underway.
• The new Multipurpose Sports Complex will feature modern courts for Kabaddi, Hockey, Volleyball, Badminton, indoor halls, and dressing rooms.
• This facility is expected to boost local talent, aligning with Bihar's policy of offering jobs to medal-winning athletes, with completion aimed by 2026.

Why It Matters: Madhubani is transforming a neglected area into a modern sports complex, ending a 20-year wait for local athletes.
