FARIDABAD (Haryana): IOA president Narinder Dhruv Batra has hailed India's right to host the 2023 International Olympic Committee session in Mumbai as a stepping stone towards big events coming in the country as India will make all efforts to host the 2030 Youth Olympics and 2036 Olympics.
"It means that it is a beginning or a stepping stone towards big events coming in India. We are going to make all our efforts to host the 2030 Youth Olympics and 2036 Olympics in India. So, this is a stepping stone or beginning in that these are the people who make decisions. India most probably is going to be the third-largest economy in the world in the next few years. So, these things do make a difference when they come and see the infrastructure. The growth and the 650 million youth of this country. It is going to make a big difference. I think India is going to become a sporting powerhouse in future and pretty soon," said Batra while speaking to ANI.
