The Kerala government on 19 April 2023 launched a project for reviving the sports culture in the State by opening quality playgrounds in every panchayat of the southern state.
The 'One Panchayat, One Playground' project was inaugurated by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan at Kallikkad.
The playgrounds would serve as a hub of local gatherings and social interactions.
The project will address the lack of quality playgrounds in around 450 local bodies in Kerala.
The playgrounds will be built in 3 years, and a list of 113 panchayats has been prepared for the project’s initial phase.
