Union Sports Minister Leads India’s Biggest-ever National Sports Day Celebrations
Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment, led the national programme with a floral tribute at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium before joining over 2,000 participants – including officials of the Sports Ministry, Sports Authority of India (SAI), Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Paralympic Committee of India (PCI), National Sports Federations (NSFs), athletes and coaches – in interactive activities at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
