Rajasthan’s Dominance in National Lacrosse

Notably, Rajasthan has won 19 medals—including 15 gold—out of the last 22 national lacrosse championships held over the past three years. Their consistent performance has boosted India’s hopes for participating in lacrosse at future Olympic Games.
Recognizing the growing potential of Rajasthan’s athletes, the state government announced the establishment of a Lacrosse Academy in Udaipur during the previous budget session. The project is currently progressing under the supervision of the Udaipur administration.
