In his Independence Day address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed India’s ambitious dream: to host the 2036 Olympics in India. This proclamation reflects the nation’s growing confidence and determination to bring the world’s premier sporting event to its soil.
India’s successful organization of the G20 Summit demonstrated its ability to host large-scale international events. The nation’s infrastructure, resources, and organizational prowess have been put to the test and found capable.

PM Modi emphasized that this is India’s golden era. The country’s youth are driven, ambitious, and eager to achieve greatness. Hosting the Olympics would be a crowning achievement, showcasing India’s progress on the global stage.
“India organised the G20 Summit in India and hosted over 200 events across the nation. It proved that India has the ability to organise big events. As this has been proven, it is now India’s dream to host the 2036 Olympics in India, and we are preparing for that,” Modi said.
During the recent Paris Olympics 2024, Indian athletes made their mark. The nation secured a total of six medals, including three bronze medals in shooting and one for the hockey team. Notably, Neeraj Chopra won silver in the men’s javelin throw, and Manu Bhaker became the first Indian to win two medals in a single edition of the Olympic Games.
