Sporting excellence took centre stage from January 4-11, as 1404 athletes, all under the age of 21, from 28 states and Union Territories, supported by 205 match officials, participated in a diverse range of disciplines. 

The games were structured into 2 sessions each day. The Morning Session, starting from 8 am and concluding at noon, followed by the Afternoon Session, commencing at 3 pm.

This scheduling not only optimized the athletes' performances under suitable weather conditions but also allowed for a dynamic and engaging viewing experience for the enthusiastic audience.

From the strategic showdowns in Tug of War to the breath-taking feats of Sea Swimming, the martial artistry of Pencak Silat, the acrobatic displays of Mallakhamb, the fast-paced action of Beach Volleyball, the strategic battles of Beach Kabaddi, and the electrifying kicks and goals of Beach Soccer, each sport brought its unique energy to the event. 

The debut of Beach Boxing added an extra layer of excitement, captivating both participants and spectators and marking a historic moment in the nation's athletic journey.

Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports Anurag Thakur took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his support and enthusiasm for this event. He captioned the post “The energy of the athletes and the beauty of Diu has woven a never-before vibe that is enchanting & exhilarating.” 

He further said, the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring new life to the Beaches of Bharat has taken a sporting turn, with the organization of the first ever Beach Games in Diu, off the Gujarat coast.

India is geographically gifted with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.  12 of the beaches in India have Blue Flag certification given to cleanest beaches promoting sustainable tourism.  

However, many of the country’s beaches aren’t as explored as they should be.  Hence the successful hosting of Diu Beach Games comes as heartening news.

By:Rajesh Shrivastava, Journalist
Sagar Watch/ The new government of Madhya Pradesh has now come into action. The cabinet has been formed. Soon the ministers will get the responsibility of the departments. 

But once again a question has started rising in the minds of the public that this time what kind of ministers will there be who will worry more about the development of the entire state or only about their assembly constituencies? However,Ministers have also taken an oath to discharge their duties honestly as a minister. 

It is usually talked among the public that if the minister is from the state, then it is his moral responsibility to talk about the interest of the entire state, to take care of the development of the entire state, then why does he seem to be worried only about the development of his assembly constituency during his entire tenure? 

If we don't  talk about any specific region of  state, during the previous tenure of the BJP government, majority of cabinet ministers  seen making extraordinary efforts to make their own legislative constituency better then rest of all.

Throughout his tenure, many ministers remained extremely active in the development of his respective assembly and in providing benefits of government welfare schemes to the people of the area. But they were hardly seen to be as active in the rest of the state except their assembly constituencies.

It is also believed that in the desire of development of their respective assembly constituencies, they ignored the interests of other areas of the state and invested their share in their own areas.

If seen, such behavior of ministers comes in the category of contempt of the oath taken by them for the post of minister. While taking the oath, all the ministers publicly assure that they will work with complete honesty and impartiality for the development of the state and the welfare of the people of the state.

Seeing such behavior of the ministers, people can be seen saying that the ministers take care of their assembly constituencies as if it is their own property and their rights over which will continue from generation to generation.

Now the chief has changed in Madhya Pradesh. Change in work culture is also expected. In such a situation, people have started expecting that now the minister will not behave in a partisan manner towards the rest of the state and its people for the sake of the development of his own constituency.

Sagar Watch/ The names of the much awaited cabinet have finally been announced in Madhya Pradesh on Monday. As Sagar Watch had said in its previous analysis, the composition of the cabinet remained almost the same.

In the cabinet formed through the fabric of social engineering, out of total 28 seats, 12 seats went to Other Backward Classes(OBC), five seats to Scheduled Castes (SC) and four seats to Scheduled Tribes(ST). Whereas only seven places came in the share of general category(G).

In the formation of the cabinet, as it was predicted earlier that Scindia's magic could work, it seems to be proved right, Scindia factor emerged in full force. 

Four generals, including three very important people of the Maharaja, have been given a place in the cabinet. Due to which many old stalwarts and strong fighters of BJP were marginalized.

However, according to political experts, as soon as the names of the cabinet were revealed, there was panic in Shivraj's camp. The leaders of this group are busy solving the equations that play an important role in the inclusion and exclusion of names from the cabinet.

Due to the social engineering that has been done in the formation of the cabinet with an eye on the strategy to win the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, many new faces who have won the elections for the first time have also got a chance to become ministers.

But on the contrary, such MLAs who had won the elections for more than three consecutive times and had full hopes of becoming ministers this time, have been disappointed due to the mathematics of this social engineering. 

There is an atmosphere of extreme disappointment among his supporters. He is neither able to say anything against the decision of the top leadership of the party nor is he able to convince his mind to accept the changed circumstances.

The cabinet formed as per the strategy of the party's high command has shaken the party's elderly and experienced leaders to their core. They want to express their heartfelt pain but the fear of getting angry with the high command is preventing them from doing so.

A person close to one such leader, who has been active as a public representative of the party for more than four decades, says that it is a good thing to give place to new and young faces of the party in the cabinet. But it is not right to give place to imported leaders in the cabinet by ignoring the old experienced and dedicated leaders of our own party.

Due to this, such confusion can also spread among the party workers that in the race to win the elections, the party is giving more importance to opportunism than its ideas and principles.

It is true that political parties take big decisions only after careful consideration. It is not everyone's cup of tea to understand all the factors that go into such decisions. 

Yet, as a result of such important decisions, many questions and doubts arise in the minds and hearts of common people. It is a big responsibility of the party's policy makers to solve them in the right way and at the right time in the interest of the party.

In the opinion of politicians, the decisions taken by the BJP high command regarding the formation of cabinets in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh do not seem to be out of this scope.

Sagar Watch/ One of the questions that is currently creating turmoil in the minds of people in Madhya Pradesh is whether their MLA will get a place in the cabinet or not? Even in the gatherings held on the streets, people are acting as analysts and counting the names of ministers on various grounds.

In such group discussions, there seems to be almost consensus on one issue that this time the final approval on the names of the cabinet has to be given from Delhi only. After coming to power in Madhya Pradesh with a huge majority, such a situation seems to be emerging due to the strengthening of the grip of the central leadership of the party on the state.

Now what image of the old ministers is being presented in the Delhi court? In the effort to simplify the caste arithmetic, which MLA's claim is becoming stronger? And how much influence of leaders considered powerful is being felt there? These are some of the factors that can spoil the process of final selection of cabinet names.

Many types of claims are being made by politicians like - one MLA from every district can get a chance to become a minister, while someone is saying that one MLA from every assembly will get a chance, while someone is saying that from two districts One of the MLAs will get a place in the cabinet.

Some fun-loving political players are also saying that no matter who gets a place in the cabinet, this time it is difficult for them to get the same freedom to work which the ministers have enjoyed in the previous tenures. This time the ministers may have to work according to the strict instructions of Modi's office.

A section of politicians believe that Jyotiraditya Scindia's influence is still intact. Right now his name is being mentioned at the top in the list of Modi ji's favorite leaders. 

Due to which his two trusted commanders Govind Singh Rajput and Tulsi Silavat may get an important role in the cabinet. If this does not happen then Scindia may face serious embarrassment.

Kailash Vijayvargiya, Prahlad Patel, Rakesh Singh are some such strong faces that without their presence, formation of a strong cabinet does not seem possible. However, in the exercise of achieving regional balance, the possibility of some new faces and MLAs who have won for the first time getting a place in the cabinet cannot be ruled out.

At the same time, Modi's displeasure with Shivraj Singh is not hidden. Modi is said to be very angry with the way Shivraj started the practice of distributing government money under the guise of welfare schemes giving free benefits. 

For this reason, even the MLAs who are considered close and trustworthy to Shivraj are being doubted about being given priority place in the cabinet. However, the ministers of Shivraj camp seem quite confident about getting an important role in the cabinet.

Apart from this, due to the policy of including young people in the cabinet, new MLAs can get an opportunity in the cabinet. Due to which some old senior MLAs who have been ministers several times can be made to sit at home. 

At the same time, leaders considered capable and active among them can also be given a role in the organization, either in the state or at the Centre.

In the list of leaders who have been enjoying power for a long time, Gopal Bhargava's name is being taken at the top. According to the consummate politicians, there are very few people who say that Bhargava ji's name is not in the list of leaders who had to make a lot of efforts to get the ticket.

There are also speculation that in case the leaders who are trying to get a berth in the cabinet are not successful, they will sit quietly on the assurance that one of their relatives will be given an Assembly or Lok Sabha ticket or some lucrative post in return. 

Although the names of the cabinet will be revealed in a day or two, whatever its form is going to be revealed, it may prove to surprise people in many ways. Then leave alone common man, maybe the head of the state himself will say in his mind that what kind of cabinet is this?

Shri Goyal said Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has on many occasions emphasised that the strength of India lies in its states and if India has to move forward it is very important for states to move forward. 

He further said Prime Minister Modi always focused on encouraging the development and economic growth in states thereby providing huge opportunities to the people in the remotest parts of India. 

He said PM Modi believes that states will be the strong pillars to support a developed India, a commitment that the entire nation has taken along with PM on 15th august 2022 as the Nation celebrated Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav on 75 years of India's independence.

In his remarks, Shri Goyal pointed out that a focussed approach to infrastructure development, which in turn creates a strong foundation of economic development, has always been the cornerstone of a developed economy.

India is once again becoming a Vishwa guru and leading the initiative of taking the world to become a safer place to live in.

Stating that MP is emerging as an economic tiger, he hoped that MP will continue to grow at the speed of cheetahs which were released in Kuno national park by PM some months ago. He exuded confidence that MP will further accelerate the country's economy by attracting industries with newer opportunities.

Shri Goyal concluded by saying that India today clearly is the bright spot in the world and hoped that Madhya Pradesh will lead from the front and continue to participate in the nation’s efforts to make India a developed nation in the next 25 years.
