    Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium: In a unique initiative to celebrate women in sport, a massive nationwide athletics league at 250 locations will be held under the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports’ ASMITA (Achieving Sports Milestone by Inspiring Women Through Action) programme to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8, Minister of State for Sports, Raksha Nikhil Khadse announced in New Delhi on Monday.

    “There can’t be a better opportunity to integrate our young women across the nation, and what better tool than using the ASMITA platform that is already gaining in popularity across the length and breadth of the country,” said Smt Khadse at a media conference held at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here.

    ASMITA is part of Khelo India’s gender-neutral mission to promote sports among women through leagues and competitions. The Sports Authority of India (SAI) supports National Sports Federations to conduct Khelo India women’s leagues across multiple age groups at both zonal and national levels. Started in 2021, ASMITA leagues not only aim to increase the participation of women in sports but to utilise the leagues as a platform for identification of new talent across the length and breadth of India, the Ministry informed in a release on Monday.
