"Our athletes are one of our country's most valuable assets. They put in years of concentrated effort, often at the expense of their personal lives, to bring the country glory.

I encourage the entire country, particularly our youth, to see these inspiring stories and cheer on our athletes as they prepare to compete in the world's largest sport" said, Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Kiren Rijiju
