Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the nation from the Red Fort on the occasion of the 79th Independence Day, in New Delhi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the government is commitment to promoting sports in the remote corners of the country. He added that the recently-approved National Sports Policy, 2025, will help in realising the goal.
“We aim to develop a complete ecosystem from schools to colleges so that all kinds of resources related to sports can be created. We also want to extend these facilities to remote areas. To promote sports in these areas, the government has introduced the National Sports Policy – Khelo Bharat policy,” Modi said in his address to the nation during the 79th Independence Day from the Red Fort here.
PM Modi added that when children excel in sports, their parents and the nation is filled with pride.
The Cabinet last month approved the the National Sports Policy (NSP), 2025, an initiative aimed at reshaping the country’s sporting landscape and empowering citizens through sports. The Bill has also been passed by both houses of Parliament.
This comes amid India’s bid to host 2036 Olympics and expects the Bill to overhaul the governance structure and bring reforms in the sporting ecosystem.
