Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh has been awarded the ‘Best State for Promoting Sports’ award at the Global Sports Summit, 2020, ceremony. The two-day event by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry began on Tuesday with Union minister for sports Kiren Rijiju as the chief guest.

A sports and fitness exhibition was also held at the Ficci-Turf, 2020, virtually in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak. Rijiju said sports have the potential of increasing the country’s GDP.
