Ahmedabad, 29/9: Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a blitzkrieg event inaugurated the 36th National Games at Narendra Modi Stadium at Motera in Ahmedabad. This was one of the three major events attended by the Prime Minister on the first day of his two-day visit to poll-bound home state Gujarat.
The largest (cricket) stadium in the world is hosting the largest sports event for the nation with the youngest population. When the event is so wonderful and unique, its energy is bound to be this extraordinary,” the PM said while declaring the national games open to a packed stadium that has a capacity of over one lakh seats.
He said that “the feeling and energy of such a grand event are beyond words. More than 7,000 athletes, more than 15,000 participants, more than 35,000 colleges, universities and schools and the direct connection of more than 50 lakh students with the National Games is amazing and unprecedented.”
