highlighted how the scaling up of the Khelo India Mission and the establishment of dedicated Khelo
India Centres have bridged massive resource gaps, providing modern equipment and structured training
pathways right at the grassroots level. They passionately urged the youth volunteers to look past
conventional limitations, leverage the government’s expanding sporting ecosystem, and step onto the
field. Their message to the next generation was clear: physical discipline, resilience, and early
