Sports Minister inaugurated the National Grappling Competition

The Sports Minister said that our government is constantly working for the upliftment and all-round development of the players, as a result of which there has been a big social change regarding sports today. Earlier people used to feel insecure about the future in the field of sports, but since PM Modi honored the players and gave them a new identity and PM Modi is directly communicating with the players performing at the national and international level, the players are getting encouraged by this.

Our players are going global from local: Minister

Minister Rekha Arya said that the result of this social change is that today a player has gone global from local. Now the era has come where a nation is identified by the name of its player.
