PM Modi hosts India's CWG 2022 contingent at his residence

To honour and acknowledge the hard work of the Commonwealth Games medallists Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted the Commonwealth Games athletes at his official residence. The Prime Minister met them for the first time and interacted with them in person.

He congratulated all the medallists and said that it is the golden period of Indian sports. The Prime Minister further felicitated the players and hailed the gutsy show of the Indian contingent. The Indian team returned with 61 medals from the Commonwealth



Games.

"The real assessment of this performance can't be made with just number of medals, our athletes competed for neck-to-neck. There may have been a difference of 1s or 1cm but we will make that up I am confident of that.

It is just a start and we are not going to just sit quietly, the golden period of Indian sports is knocking on the doors. We have the responsibility of making a sporting system which is the best in the world, inclusive, diverse, and dynamic.No talent should be left out as they are all assets", said Prime Minister Modi.
