He said, "In recognition of the need to inculcate the sporting spirit among the youths, the BTC government has thought of including sports as one of the academic subjects in our educational institutions, like in Manipur, because many of our educational institutions will now have Physical Instructor or coach to teach the students who aspire to pursue sport activities."

He further informed that they had also decided to establish subdivisional sports office in all the civil subdivisions of BTR within September in a bid to bring the government services to general public's doorsteps. He also hoped that if the clause of BTR Accord for setting up of SAI Centres in three districts like Chirang, Baksa and Udalguri would be implemented properly they could engage many unemployed youths of the region.

He also urged leaders and intellectuals to bring about awareness on the vaccination drives in their respective places. Later, the EM laid the foundation at Baikhungaon, Kajalgaon for construction of District Sports Officer's office-cum-Youth Hostel under SOPD (BTC).
