Kolkata: Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Tuesday urged the Indian business sector to spend a portion of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for promotion of sports, including those for the disabled.

"India is making steady progress in multi-discipline sports competitions like Olympics, Commonwealth and Asian Games and have won many World Championships. If the corporate houses spend a portion of their CSR funds towards promotion of sports, India will surely emerge as the super power in sports in the world," Sonowal said at the Eastern India CSR Summit here.
