Time to Play!

“My dear countrymen, many of
you would have enjoyed the thrill of
the National Games in Uttarakhand.
There, more than 11,000 athletes
from all over the country performed
brilliantly…Friends, today some
memorable performances in these
games are being discussed all over
the country.”

In the 119th episode of ‘Mann
ki Baat’ PM Modi addressed how
determination and discipline of
our young athletes can take India
to new heights on a global stage.
He also reiterated the contribution
from the Khelo India campaign
as the ‘very talented generation’
set new records at the National
Games as well. Let’s see what these
champions have to say.
The National Games is a very big
opportunity for me. The competition
is conducted really well. If you do well
in the National Games, it gives you a
lot of confidence to do well anywhere.
-Athlete Jyothi Yarraji,

My entire family and friends are really
proud of me. I, too, am happy that
PM Modi mentioned my name in the
'Mann ki Baat' address. I want to bring
more such laurels to the country.
