Underscoring the need for boosting children's physical and mental health, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (May 11) directed the authorities concerned to keep playgrounds in every area.
She said: "We should be more proactive about sports, but unfortunately the Dhaka city itself lacks spaces for sports."
Regarding the government's initiative to build new playgrounds, the Prime Minister also said, "In the meantime, we have taken some initiatives. Where we are getting vacant spaces, we are turning those into playgrounds."
She made the remarks while virtually distributing the "National Sports Award" to 85 sportspersons and organisers from 2013-2021 for their glorious contribution to the country's sports arena as the chief guest from her official Ganabhaban residence here.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports organised the programme at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium.
The premier also urged the parents to encourage their children to play outside, which would help boost children's physical and mental health alongside stopping their any kind of derailment.
"Most of our children are passing most of their times in flats engaging with mobile phones, laptops and ipads, which is an ominous sign of their physical and mental health," she said.
She asked the authorities concerned to provide the award every year for encouraging players as well as organisers and for the overall progress of the sports.
On behalf of the Prime Minister, State Minister for Youth and Sports Md Zahid Ahsan Russel, MP, handed over the awards among the recipients.
Chairman of the ministry's parliamentary standing committee Abdulla Al Islam Jacob was present while its Secretary Mesbah Uddin gave the address of welcome.
Earlier, the Ministry of Youth and Sports has nominated 85 sports persons and organisers for this prestigious National Sports Award in recognition of their contribution to the country's sports during 2013 to 2020.
