………………………………………………………………………………....................................
           Punjab is a sports loving state of India having
Hockey, Kabaddi, Wrestling, Football, Athletics as major sports. With a view to
promote Kabaddi at the international level, the State Government has introduced
World Kabaddi Cup in 2010. Many teams
from all over the world took part in it. Though the World Cup was a great
success but sports infrastructure in the state was found inadequate in coping
with such a big event. The Government thus decided to construct/ upgrade number
of multipurpose stadiums at district level as a major drive to promote sports and
conduct international level tournaments in this part of the country.

             Multipurpose sports stadium at Bathinda is
amongst the one dozen stadiums in the state which were got constructed in a
record time of one year. These stadiums were to be used for the second edition
of World Kabaddi Cup which was conducted in November 2011.

             The design of the stadium
incorporates mainly three components i.e., play fields as per international
standards, covered seating steps for public and two covered seating pavilions
for V.I.P. spectators. The stadium is provided with floodlights to facilitate
sports activities during late night. Keeping in view the international norms
for seating, durability and subsequent maintenance, steel perforated chairs
have been provided in these pavilions. These chairs have been installed in red,
yellow and blue colours to ensure that when unoccupied, seating areas do not
give a drab look.

             Two V.I.P. pavilions have been
designed for seating capacities of 1000 and 2500 persons. The design of the
pavilion is governed by the factors like comfortable viewing angles,
international norms for seating, provision of necessary facilities for players,
besides the time and budgetary constraints. Meticulously designed pavilions
accommodate changing rooms for players, wash rooms, pantry, lounge, entrance
foyer and offices at ground level that is underneath the seating steps.

                RCC framed structure has been
adopted up to seating level with brick masonry infill walls. The canopy on the seating area is designed
in pre-engineered steel structure which has been introduced first time in such
buildings in the state. This structure has an edge over the conventional
structures as it proves to be more precise, hassle free, economical and less
time consuming. The structural components like pillars, girders, purlins etc.,
were designed as per exact requirements and manufactured in factories with
great precision. These components then brought at sites and assembled in
short span of time, thus meeting deadlines for World Kabaddi Cup.

                The overlapping period of civil
construction at site and manufacturing of pre-engineered components in
factories saved precious time and money – the two major constraints. Apart from
providing basic facilities to players and spectators, the pavilion added a grandeur
and contemporary look to the entire stadium. Being located in the small
district level towns of Punjab, these stadiums
with international style of architecture have become important landmarks in the
areas. The sports fraternity in particular and public in general feel proud of
this infrastructure in the state.
