Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Indian triathlete Pragnya Mohan believes that Ahmedabad's selection as host city for the 2030 Commonwealth Games marks a defining moment for India’s sporting future. Calling it a significant leap forward, she said the event will firmly position India on the world map in terms of sports infrastructure and sporting potential.

“I think it's a big step for India, and it will definitely put India as a landmark for sporting infrastructure and as a sporting nation,” Pragnya told IANS. She added that athletes across the country—not just those from Ahmedabad—will benefit from exposure to the wide range of disciplines showcased at the Games.

Highlighting the impact such visibility could have on young talent, she noted, “The Commonwealth Games have a large variety of sports, and seeing heroes of those sports compete on Indian soil will ignite a passion in the future generation like no other.”
