Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur has reiterated that India is “looking at” bidding for the Olympic Games in 2036.
In a recent interaction with The Hindu, Thakur said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “keen on” sports.
“Sports is an area the PM is very keen on,” said Thakur to the daily.
Last year, Thakur had said that the country will present a roadmap to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) when its Session will be held in Mumbai from October 15 to 17.
It was reported back then that the state of Gujarat is interested in staging the multi-sport event, including plans for an Opening Ceremony in Ahmedabad.
