"The campaign is intended to give people a platform to wish 'Best of Luck' to the Indian contingent taking part in the Olympics. It is a build-up to the Olympics and will motivate people, especially the youth, to take interest in sports," Haryana's Director Sports, O P Singh said here today.

The Sports Department is also planning two roadshows, where vehicles, carrying photographs of all Olympic qualifiers from India will move through the state.

"The roadshows will disseminate information on the Olympic qualifiers from the country, the schedule of the Games, when our qualifiers are likely to play, and also the opportunities that exist for a career in sports. We hope to motivate many youth with our effort," he further said.

Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda will flag off the 'BOL India' roadshow from his residence here tomorrow.

Singh said that fans can show their support for the campaign on the social networking sites as well as by sending their messages.

"Digital boards will also be put up where people can write best of luck messages for the Olympians," he said. More TI SUN AT
