PM Modi addressed the Sansad Khel Mahotsav via video conferencing and interacted with young athletes from across the country. Calling the initiative a people’s movement, he said the scale of participation reflects the growing sporting culture in India.

Responding to participants, PM Modi noted that the Sansad Khel Mahotsav has reached over one crore young athletes from cities, villages and small towns. He said that it was encouraging to see children and youth speak with confidence about their sports journeys and aspirations. He observed that such platforms give talent from every corner of the country a chance to shine.

During the interaction, the PM highlighted the inclusive nature of the Mahotsav, appreciating the participation of divyang athletes and stating that sports belong to everyone. He remarked that when youth play together, they learn teamwork, discipline and resilience, values that shape both character and citizenship.

PM Modi highlighted that before 2014, India’s sports budget was less than Rs. 1,200 crore, which has now increased to over Rs. 3,000 crore. He also noted that under the TOPS scheme, athletes receive monthly assistance ranging from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 50,000 to support their training and performance.

The Prime Minister added that India must now aim to top the medal table at global sporting events. He noted that India will host major international sports events in the coming years, including the Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad in 2030, which will place the world’s spotlight on the country. The PM further stated that it presents a major opportunity for young athletes and highlighted that India is also making efforts to host the Olympic Games in 2036.

PM Modi said the enthusiasm and determination shown by young players clearly demonstrate how sports are strengthening the foundation of a fitter, disciplined and self-confident India. He added that initiatives like Sansad Khel Mahotsav are not only creating athletes but also nurturing responsible and resilient citizens who will contribute to nation-building.

“মতুয়া ধর্মমেলায় আগত সমস্ত ভক্ত এবং অংশগ্রহণকারীদের জানাই আমার আন্তরিক শুভেচ্ছা ও অভিনন্দন।

এই বিশেষ তিথিটি পূর্ণ ব্রহ্ম শ্রী শ্রী হরিচাঁদ ঠাকুরজির জয়ন্তীর সঙ্গে যুক্ত। আমি তাঁকে আমার সশ্রদ্ধ প্রণাম নিবেদন করছি। তাঁর আদর্শ এবং শিক্ষা আজও অগণিত মানুষকে শক্তি ও আশার আলো দিয়ে চলেছে এবং সম্মান, সাম্য ও ভক্তির এক শক্তিশালী আন্দোলনের জন্ম ঘটিয়েছে। তিনি প্রজন্ম থেকে প্রজন্মান্তরকে ন্যায়ের পথ, সম্প্রীতি এবং সমষ্টিগত উন্নয়নের পথে চলার অনুপ্রেরণা জুগিয়েছেন।

মতুয়া সংস্কৃতির এই সমৃদ্ধ এবং প্রাণবন্ত ঐতিহ্য এক গভীর আধ্যাত্মিক শক্তি এবং সাম্যের প্রতি অটুট অঙ্গীকারকে প্রতিফলিত করে। এটি আমাদের দেশের সামাজিক কাঠামোকে উল্লেখযোগ্যভাবে সমৃদ্ধ করেছে। গত এক দশকে, আমাদের সরকার মতুয়া সম্প্রদায়ের কল্যাণ, ক্ষমতায়ন এবং মর্যাদার প্রতি সম্পূর্ণ দায়বদ্ধ থেকে কাজ করে চলেছে।”
