Sabarmati Rowing Course to Become International Event Hub

The picturesque Sabarmati River, which flows through Ahmedabad, may soon become a hub for international rowing events in the country.

“The Sabarmati course thanks to the National Games will change the rowing scenario in the country, even ushering in a new era. It could also become a very good training centre for our rowers and help in encouraging the sport in a big way,” Baig added.
