Among those in attendance were Gaurav Gautam, Sports Minister, Government of Haryana, P. T.

The ceremony also spotlighted M3M Foundation’s flagship sports development initiative, ‘Lakshay’ which has been instrumental in supporting aspiring athletes through mentorship, equipment support, training, and long-term career guidance. The initiative is aligned with the Hon’ble Prime Minister *Shri Narendra Modi’s* vision of transforming India into a global sporting superpower.

While I appreciate the gesture, I hope this isn't just a one-time event. We need consistent support for athletes throughout their careers, not just before major tournaments. The real test is what happens after the games.
