Hosting this global event promises to elevate India’s sports infrastructure, bolster tourism, and inspire a new generation of athletes, creating a legacy for future generations.

India’s Preparations: Learning from the Best

Prime Minister Modi has been vocal about his commitment to hosting the Olympics. During the recent Independence Day celebrations, he invited insights from Indian athletes who competed in the Paris Olympics. Modi stressed the importance of gathering feedback on their experiences, aiming to refine India’s preparations for 2036 by addressing any potential oversights in advance.

“Input from athletes who have played in previous Olympics is very important. We want to document this and share it with the government so that we don’t miss out on any small details,” PM Modi shared.
