The Maharashtra government has decided to build a grand sports museum to honour Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, chief minister Prithviraj Chavan said.
“Sachin has made the state proud by his achievements in cricket. His contribution in the recent World Cup was immense,” Chavan said at the Shiv Chhatrapati State Sports Awards function on Tuesday evening.
The government is also planning to introduce a new youth and sports policy and there is a proposal to set up 54 sports complexes at the tehsil level, Chavan informed. Earlier this month, the CM had informed the legislative assembly that the government is going to recommend to the Centre that Tendulkar, who turned 38 on Sunday, should be given the Bharat Ratna in view of his outstanding contribution to the game of cricket.
Chavan also announced a monument in the memory of the wrestler Maruti Mane, who did the state proud with his stupendous performances at national and international competitions. He said that the monument would be constructed at his village, Kavathepiran. Mane had won the Hind Kesari title in 1964. Prior to that, he had won gold medal in the 1962 Asian Games in Jakarta. He was also won the Jeevan Gaurav Puraskar and the Dhyanchand Award. He passed away in July last year.
Sachin - "At this moment he is bowling well.... but I would like to focus more on what we have to do rather than what they will do to us."
