Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya:  Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Thursday urged National Sports Federations (NSFs) to strengthen talent identification and athlete development programmes, stressing that India needs a steady supply of champions to maintain its medal-winning momentum at major international competitions.

Addressing representatives of various sports federations during a review meeting of India’s performance at the 2026 Asian Games, Mandaviya said the country could not depend on a few athletes to deliver medals and called for a broader pool of world-class performers across disciplines.
