Nalanda. The organization of Women's Asian Hockey Championship in Rajgir has given Bihar a new identity in the field of sports. After a successful tournament, it is being told that next year the Asian Men's Hockey Championship will be organized at Rajgir International Hockey Stadium. This information was given by the District Magistrate of Lakhisarai during the ongoing match. If this happens, Bihar will have another big opportunity to strengthen its identity in the sports world.
DM Lakhisarai Mithilesh Mishra said that it is a matter of pride for Bihar that such a big event is being organized in the state. People of all age groups and classes from across Bihar participated in the 'Gaurav Yatra' which was organized for the Women's Championship. This event is not only increasing awareness about sports but also motivating the youth.
He further said that Bihar has made great achievements in the field of sports infrastructure. This hockey stadium of Rajgir is an example of this. We believe that this event will inspire the children of Bihar to make their mark at the international level.

After this event, many programs will be started to promote sports in schools, so that the talent of children can be identified. In this way, better training will help in taking their skills to new heights. He said that our aim is that players from Bihar win medals in the 2036 Olympics.

The success of the women's championship has made Rajgir a major center for sporting events. In such a situation, organizing the men's championship will be another big step in this direction. This will be a historic opportunity for Bihar, because this state will get a strong identity in the sports world on the basis of these big events.
