Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday credited the various reforms undertaken by the Union government and the support programmes it provided to the athletes in the last 10 years as the key reason for the successes the country has recorded in international sporting events such as the Tokyo Olympics, Asian Games, and Paralympics.
Inaugurating the sixth edition of the Khelo India Youth Games in Chennai, he said though the sportspersons in the country were hardworking and passionate even before, they gained new confidence and support from the government at every step in the last 10 years. “In the last 10 years, the government reformed, the athletes performed, and the entire sports system transformed in India,” he said.
