India charts roadmap for 2036 Olympics: Mandaviya
Lucknow: Union Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports, Mansukh Mandaviya, shared a roadmap for hosting the 2036 Olympic Games, emphasising how the Sports Ministry has systematically developed infrastructure while bidding for the event. He also highlighted plans to establish Uttar Pradesh as a major sports hub in the coming years.
The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has submitted an ‘expression of interest’ to the IOC’s Future Host Commission to host the 2036 Games, marking the first concrete step in an ambitious plan following months of informal discussions with the apex body.
Speaking to TOI, Mandaviya explained the Sports Ministry’s roadmap for the 2036 Olympics. “Under the Sports Authority of India, we have adopted the PPP model to strengthen sports infrastructure across the country. By upgrading our existing sports facilities, we aim to elevate them to international standards. This strategic approach will ensure India is well-prepared to achieve excellence in both the medals tally and sports infrastructure when we host the Olympics in 2036,” he said.
Fit India Sunday on Cycle initiative launched
Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya launched his nationwide campaign, ‘Fit India Sunday on Cycle,’ from Lucknow on Sunday. He urged people to demonstrate their commitment to the nation by adopting cycling as a way to stay fit.
“Cycling offers numerous benefits, including improved physical health, reduced pollution, enhanced mental well-being, and conservation of petroleum resources. Show your commitment to the nation by cycling and staying healthy. In Lucknow, students, youth, and the elderly are cycling in large numbers. Prime Minister Modi has expressed concern over the rising issue of obesity, which can be tackled through cycling. Let’s all cycle together and promote the message of health in Uttar Pradesh and across the country,” Mandaviya said.
The 3-km cycling rally, which started from Marine Drive and passed through Samta Mulak Chauraha and 1090 Chauraha, saw the participation of more than 500 cyclists. Among those present were UP Sports Minister Girish Chandra Yadav and Principal Secretary (Sports) Manish Chauhan.
