Discussions are underway to launch a medical insurance scheme for kabaddi, football, and hockey players across Tamil Nadu, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin announced on Sunday.
He made the statement while addressing the media at a welfare distribution event for kabaddi players in Keelakarai. During the event, Udhayanidhi distributed sports equipment and medical insurance to 900 kabaddi players.
The Deputy Chief Minister highlighted that Ramanathapuram has produced many kabaddi players who have represented the state at both national and international levels. He also mentioned that the local DMK government had taken steps to provide insurance to kabaddi players in the district. Udhayanidhi added that talks are ongoing to extend a similar medical insurance scheme to kabaddi, football, and hockey players across Tamil Nadu.
Later that day, Udhayanidhi visited the site for the proposed marine sports center in Pirappanvalasai village. He shared that construction work on the center, which was included in the 2024-25 state budget, will begin soon and is expected to be completed within a year.
“Since the center is located near the coast, we needed approval from the Coastal Regulation Authority. Now that permission has been granted, we plan to begin construction shortly,” he said. The sports academy is slated to be completed by January next year, Udhayanidhi added.
