Delhi Sports Journalist Association: Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya on Friday wished best of luck to Indian athletes for the Paris Olympics and Paralympic Games and said he was sure that they will make the country proud with their performance.

“The new age India has seen a lot of progress but this is just the beginning. By 2047, when we complete 100 years of Independence, we aspire to be among the leaders in sports in the world and hence, it is important to have platforms such as this for an elaborate discussion," said Dr. Mandaviya at an interactive session to discuss India's preparation for the Olympics and Paralympics organised by the Delhi Sports Journalist Association (DSJA) in collaboration with Sports Authority of India (SAI).

"The journalists covering these sports are also responsible for capturing the emotions that an athlete goes through when they win a medal or even represent the country at this stage. I wish our athletes all the best for the upcoming Olympics and Paralympics, and I am sure they will make our country proud,” he said.
