PM Modi interacts with youth at Sansad Khel Mahotsav, encourages them to pursue sports

PM Modi virtually interacts with young athletes at Sansad Khel Mahotsav, motivating them to pursue sports with discipline and confidence for the nation's pride.

"Their enthusiasm, their spirit, their excitement, I could see a glimpse of India's strength. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, December 25

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday virtually interacted with youths participating in the Sansad Khel Mahotsav, motivating them to pursue sports and contribute to the country.

PM Modi praised young people's healthy lifestyles and advised them to be disciplined, hardworking, and self-confident to achieve their ambitions.

Interacting with a young athlete, Shanti Kumari, who participated in the Sansad Khel Mahotsav organised by MP Dilip Sakia in the Darrang-Udalguri Lok Sabha constituency, PM Modi wished her luck for the future and encouraged her to practice kabaddi regularly.

"Keep on practising hard. I also wish you very well for your 10th examination, and I hope you make the country proud in the future," PM Modi said.

Interacting with a 14-year-old athlete, PM Modi asked her how she manages to play cycle polo and Kabaddi at a time. PM Modi congratulated her for performing well in both sports and encouraged her to make sports her strength.

"There's an abundance of talent in India. You are playing two games simultaneously. Make them your strength and when the time comes to choose one sport, then choose wisely. I congratulate you," PM Modi said.

Interacting with a young boxer, Neeraj, PM Modi motivated him to bring a medal for the country,

"Should I believe that you'll bring a medal for the country?" PM Modi asked, adding that he is not pressuring the player. "I am joking, I am not pressuring you. Keep practising and don't worry about diet and exposure. We will provide that."

Further, PM Modi said that the players' enthusiasm, spirit, and excitement gave me a glimpse of India's strength.

"Just now, I was talking to some of the participating players in this competition. Their enthusiasm, their spirit, their excitement, I could see a glimpse of India's strength. The confidence I saw within these players today fills millions of Indian youth with the same belief. That's why, in startups, space, science, and sports, India's youth have been waving their flag high in every field," PM Modi said.

The Sansad Khel Mahotsav was organised from December 23 to December 25.

More than a series of competitions, the Sansad Khel Mahotsav is a movement to instil discipline, teamwork, and leadership among youth. It is widely recognised as the largest sporting event ever organised in the history of the Raver Lok Sabha constituency, reflecting a strong commitment to nurturing sporting excellence at the grassroots level.

It's heartening to see the focus on young athletes, especially girls like Shanti. Promoting kabaddi and cycle polo is great for preserving traditional sports while encouraging fitness. Hope this leads to better infrastructure and support for them in the long run.

Good to see the PM's words, but actions speak louder. We need consistent funding for sports academies, coaches, and equipment in every district. One event is nice, but what about the daily struggle of these athletes? The government must ensure a sustainable ecosystem.

As a mother, I love this! Getting children away from screens and into sports builds character, discipline, and health. My son was so motivated after watching this. We need more such *mahotsavs* in every locality, not just during elections.

"We will provide that" - regarding diet and exposure for the boxer Neeraj. This is the key promise. If the system actually delivers on this support, we can produce many more Olympic medalists. The talent is there, the system needs to back it up fully. Fingers crossed!

The scale of this event being the largest in that constituency's history is impressive. Blending local games like kabaddi with leadership training is a smart model. Hope other MPs follow suit and make sports a real priority beyond just photo-ops.
