During our term in office so far, we have focussed tremendously on sports: PM

The Prime Minister said every athlete of the Indian contingent has worked hard to earn his or her place, and the players will surely give their best for the country at the Rio Olympics. He expressed confidence that the Indian athletes would win the hearts of people across the world, and show the world what India is about.

Urging the nation to prepare for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics from today itself, he asked every district of the country to ensure that at least one athlete from the district qualifies for the Olympics next time.

The Prime Minister said this time the contingent has been sent in advance, so that players get familiar with the conditions.

The Prime Minister later released the Olympic Brochure, and flagged off the Run For Rio.

March 24, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, sought the blessings of Maa Katyayani and said that worship of Maa Jagadambe fills the mind with infinite energy and inner strength, while her divine radiance illuminates the heart with higher consciousness. He prayed that with the blessings of the Goddess, who is the embodiment of divinity and valour, all her devotees are endowed with immense strength and self-confidence.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit verse-

“चन्द्रहासोज्ज्वलकरा शार्दूलवरवाहना। कात्यायनी शुभं दद्याद् देवी दानवघातिनी॥”

The Prime Minister also shared a recital in praise of the Goddess.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“मां कात्यायनी को वंदन! दिव्यता और पराक्रम की अधिष्ठात्री देवी मां की कृपा से उनके सभी भक्तों में अपार शक्ति और आत्मविश्वास का संचार हो।

चन्द्रहासोज्ज्वलकरा शार्दूलवरवाहना।

कात्यायनी शुभं दद्याद् देवी दानवघातिनी॥”

“मां जगदम्बे की उपासना से मन अनंत ऊर्जा और आत्मबल से भर जाता है। देवी मां का अलौकिक ओज हृदय को दिव्य चेतना से आलोकित कर देता है।
