\"The whole country is feeling proud of your (athletes') performance in the Asian Games. I also thank the trainers and coaches of the athletes on behalf of the nation,\" Modi said while interacting with the athletes at the Dhyan Chand stadium here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He said India's medal tally in the Asian Games is an indication of the country's success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It is India's best performance in Asian Games till date, and personally, I am satisfied that we are moving on the right track,\" the Prime Minister said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Because of your hard work and achievements, there is an atmosphere of celebration across the country,\" Modi added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I am proud that our 'Nari Shakti' performed very well in the Asian Games. It tells about the capability of the daughters of India,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Prime Minister said that though there is no shortage of talent in the country, due to various obstacles, Indian athletes could not convert their efforts into medals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This is the first time that India crossed the tally of 100 medals in Asian Games. India had won 70 medals at the Jakarta Games in 2018.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIn many events, decades long wait for a medal got over because of your efforts,\" the Prime Minister said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIn many disciplines, you not only opened an account but blazed a trail that will inspire a generation of youth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Modi also gave credit to the Centre's TOPS and Khelo India schemes as game-changers for the boost in medals tally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOur players are the 'GOAT', i.e., Greatest Of All Time, for the country,\" Modi said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also urged the athletes to help in fighting drugs and in promoting the millets and POSHAN missions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Prime Minister assured the athletes that lack of money will never be a hindrance to their efforts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOur faith in the youth was the basis of the slogan \u2018100 paar\u2019, and you have lived up to that faith,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/10\/you-have-created-history-pm-tells-asian-games-contingent.png", "alt_img": "'You have created history', PM tells Asian Games contingent", "alt_title": "'You have created history', PM tells Asian Games contingent", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "'You Have Created History', PM Tells Asian Games Contingent On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "'You Have Created History', PM Tells Asian Games Contingent, Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday interacted with the Asian Games contingent, which won a record.", "seo_keywords": "Asian Games, New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dhyan Chand, Prime Minister, Nari Shakti, The Prime Minister, Jakarta Games, Khelo India, Greatest Of All Time", "tag": "", "tagging": "Asian Games, New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dhyan Chand, Prime Minister, Nari Shakti, The Prime Minister, Jakarta Games, Khelo India, Greatest Of All Time", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "you-have-created-history-pm-tells-asian-games-contingent", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "650", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-10-10 21:00:04", "updated": "2023-10-10 21:00:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Asian Games, New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dhyan Chand, Prime Minister, Nari Shakti, The Prime Minister, Jakarta Games, Khelo India, Greatest Of All Time", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-10-10 21:00:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "806088", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/you-have-created-history-pm-tells-asian-games-contingent-9476" }
