India Wants to host the 2036 Olympics, while the 2048 Olympics will mark 100 years of India’s independence. India won only 6 medals in Paris Olympics 2024. India was ranked 71st in the medal tally.

30 thousand players will benefit, center will spend 60%
Under the revamped scheme, the expenditure sharing ratio between the Center and the state has been kept at 60:40. There is a plan to support 30 thousand players in this.
