PM Modi lauds Bastar Olympics, hails upcoming WAVES Summit

Monday, 30 December 2024 | PNS

Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the recently concluded Bastar Olympics 2024, saying the event has given a platform for youngsters to hone their talent and build a new Bharat. The Bastar Olympics 2024, held in the eponymous district, was organised by the Chhattisgarh government last month.

The multi-sport event was aimed at spotting local talents, integrating tribal youths of Naxal-hit Bastar into the mainstream and enhancing relations between people and administration. Referring to the Bastar Olympics in his monthly 'Mann ki Baat' broadcast, Modi said it was a unique event and a symbol that a change was taking place in the country. 

"Do you know that a unique Olympic has started in our Bastar! Yes, a new revolution is coming into being in Bastar through the first Bastar Olympics. Friends, the Bastar Olympics is not just a sports event.  It is a platform where development and sports are merging together, where our youth are honing their talent and building a new Bharat," he said. 

Modi said it was a matter of "great joy" for him that the dream of the Bastar Olympics had come true. The prime minister also referred to several individual prize winners in the sporting event.
