New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS) | Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday urged para-athletes not to worry about medals and give their 100 per cent without worrying about how strong the opponent will be at the Tokyo Paralympics, to be held from August 24 to September 5. Talking to Paralympians, PM said, just give your 100 percent.
PM Modi interacted with the Indian team through video conferencing. Also wished him all the best for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. It is India’s largest contingent ever for the Paralympic Games. In the Indian contingent, 54 para-athletes from nine sports disciplines will travel to Tokyo to represent the nation. While interacting with Paralympians, PM Modi said, After talking with all of you, I realized that India is going to create history in Paralympics as well. Kovid-19 has increased your difficulties but you guys have never given up. This is real sportsmanship. Your medal is very important but New India will not pressurize our athletes to win medals. You just need to give your 100 per cent.”
Referring to the recent Olympics, the Prime Minister said the country is with the athletes in their endeavours, whether they win or miss. The Prime Minister also discussed the importance of mental strength along with physical strength in the region. The PM said, our villages and remote areas are full of talent and the team of para athletes is a living example of this. We have to think about our youth and ensure that they get all the resources and facilities. There are many young players in these fields, with the potential to win medals. Today the country is trying to reach them, special attention is being given to rural areas.
The Prime Minister informed that 360 Khelo India Centers have been set up to identify local talent. Modi said, soon this number will be increased to 1,000 centres. Equipment, grounds and other resources and infrastructure are being provided to the players. The country is helping them with an open heart. The country has provided the necessary facilities and targets through the ‘Lakshya Olympic Podium Scheme’.
The Prime Minister stressed that to rise to the top, we have to allay the fears that have made a home in the hearts of the older generation, when families thought that there was no prospect of a career in sports except one or two. He said that this insecurity needs to be removed. The Prime Minister said that along with promoting international sports, traditional sports are getting a new identity. The Prime Minister told the athletes that they reinforce the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’, irrespective of the sport they represent. Modi asserted, whatever state, region you belong to, whatever language you speak, above all, today you are Team India. This feeling should be pervasive at every level in every part of our society.
Meanwhile, Union Sports Minister Anurag Singh Thakur thanked PM Modi for extending his support to athletes across the country. Your encouragement will motivate the youth to take up sports and perform well in it, he said.
