New Delhil: India officially made the bid to host the 2036 edition of the Olympics and Paralympics Games in the nation. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on October 1 formally sent a ‘Letter of Intent’ to the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Future Host Commission expressing India’s interest in hosting the Olympics and Paralympics Games in 2036, according to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
India ended its campaign at the recently concluded Paris Olympics with six medals, including five bronze and a silver.
Earlier in September, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India is putting in all possible efforts to host the 2036 edition of the Olympic Games.
Addressing the Indian diaspora at Nassau Coliseum in New York, PM Modi said that people will witness the Summer Olympics taking place in India as well.
“…Only a few days ago, the Paris Olympics concluded. Very soon, you will witness the Olympics in India too. We are putting in all possible efforts to host the 2036 Olympics,” PM Modi said in New York.
Last year, PM Modi said that India will make efforts to host these big sporting events. Speaking to the para-athlete’s contingent in Delhi following a successful Para Asian Games in Hangzhou, PM Modi said the approach of the government is “athlete-centric”. He said India is growing in terms of its sporting culture and also as a “sporting society”.
