2. INTRODUCTION
WEST BENGAL TAMILNADU
Bengal's sports culture is vibrant,
despite of absence of world-class
performance by participants. It's the
love for sports and games among the
people that creates this vibrancy.
That love may remain unrewarded
with trophies, yet ardent passion for
sports continues unabated.
Tamil Nadu has made fair strides in the field
of sports. The Sports Development Authority
of Tamil Nadu SDAT is the government body
that is vested with the responsibility of
developing sports and related infrastructure
in the state. The SDAT owns and operates a
number of world class stadiums and organizes
various sporting events. It also
accommodates various sporting events, both
at domestic and international level, organized
by other sports associations at its venues.
Both West Bengal and Tamil Nadu have made significant contributions to Indian sports,
with their sports personalities and teams achieving numerous accolades on the national
and international stage. They are known for their passionate fan base and are widely
regarded as some of the most important sportsregions in India.
