Udaipur, March 14: A significant initiative has been launched to nurture swimming talent in Udaipur, with a residential training camp for 160 selected athletes from across the district. This program is part of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma’s innovative Panch Gaurav initiative, which aims to yield positive and long-term results in sports development.
Under the guidance of District Collector Namit Mehta, efforts have begun to realize the “One District – One Sport” concept in Udaipur. The camp commenced on Saturday at Maharana Pratap Sports Complex, following a series of talent search competitions held at the block level.
The chief guest at the inauguration was Phoolsingh Meena, the MLA from Udaipur Rural.

The state government is implementing various schemes to promote sports and uplift rural talent, enabling athletes to shine at state and national levels. Meena expressed confidence in the sporting abilities of young boys and girls from tribal regions, urging them to pursue their goals with discipline, regular practice, and determination.
The training camp not only serves as a robust platform for honing swimming skills in Udaipur but also represents a crucial step in preparing these athletes for state, national, and international competitions. The event was skillfully conducted by Ranveer Singh Ranawat.
