Sports & Kanpur Smart City Mission
Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh has been one of the selected cities for the Smart Cities Mission of GOI Urban Ministry. Kanpur, a large industrial and historical city, in the the central part of Uttar Pradesh, about 70 km from the state capital of Lucknow, was erstwhile called as Cawnpore. Situated on the banks of River Ganges, in the colonial period, Kanpur became an important commercial as well as military garrison station of British India.
Of course, sports is not just about medals. The very fact that one has prepared, kept oneself fit and well, looked after the body and the mind, and competed with the best in the world, without fear or favour. That itself is the Medal. A medal that life gives everyone of us.
But a medal would be nice if one competes on the biggest stage for India.
A medal is also a reflection and validation that a nation has the necessary processes, infrastructure, systems and talent in place to aim for the best, at the important stages on which sports is played. And of course, the fans are happy.
At FiftyGolds we try to open source the search for sporting excellence by India. This is the mission statement of FiftyGolds India.
