Nation Building Through Sports

Under the Vision of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji

Inspired by the visionary leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, I am committed to contributing to India's nation-building mission through sports. His focus on initiatives such as Khelo India, the Fit India Movement, youth empowerment, and India's aspiration to host the 2036 Olympic Games has positioned sport as a vital pillar of national development.

For me, sport is not limited to medals or records. It is a powerful nation-building instrument that shapes disciplined individuals, resilient leaders, and responsible citizens. Through scientific coaching, long-term athlete development, and ethical sports practices, my work focuses on transforming talent into sustainable high performance while instilling strong national values.

Aligned with the vision of a New India, my approach places athletes at the centre of the sports ecosystem. Priority is given to grassroots talent identification, coach education, injury prevention, mental conditioning, and international exposure. Performance excellence is pursued with integrity, structured planning, and respect for the athlete's long-term well-being.

By strengthening systems, empowering coaches, and reforming competitive pathways, sport becomes a catalyst for unity, health, employment, and global recognition. Every athlete developed is an investment in India's future.

My commitment is unwavering. I serve Indian sport with integrity, knowledge, and purpose, contributing to a healthier, stronger, and self-reliant India through sports.
