Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sets 2036 Olympic Target, Announces Nationwide Talent Hunt Program
On Independence Day, Modi spoke to the nation from the Red Fort and said that India's progress in the field of sports has sped up in recent years, with the country becoming more prominent on the international stage. He emphasized that the next move should be to expand the pool of talent so that Indian athletes can qualify in a much wider variety of Olympic events.
"India is making space for itself in the world of sports. We hear our national anthem frequently and see our tri-colour going up very often. TOPS has achieved great success. Whether it is Khelo India Games, University Games, Beach Games, Winter Games, or sports training, sports medicine, sports nutrition, India is moving ahead at great pace," PM Modi said in his Independence Day speech at the Red Fort in New Delhi.
