To realize this vision, a detailed action plan has been put in place, focusing on the identification and development of young talent through the Khelo India school games, targeting boys aged 9 to 15.
Additionally, there is a concerted effort to expand sports infrastructure, engaging the youth to propel India to a leading position in the global sports arena by 2036.
"We are moving ahead with a comprehensive planning. India is changing and moving ahead under the leadership of PM Modi," he added.

Various sports infrastructure projects were inaugurated, underscoring the commitment to fostering a conducive environment for sports.
