India's Olympic Vision: Laying the Groundwork at the Para High Performance Centre

Union Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the Para High Performance Centre in Gandhinagar, marking a step in India's plan to host the 2036 Olympics. The initiative aims to provide world-class training for para athletes and strengthen Gujarat's sports infrastructure, as part of PM Modi's 'Sports for All' vision.

Union Minister Amit Shah virtually inaugurated the Rs 316.82 crore Para High Performance Centre in Gandhinagar, emphasizing India's ambition to host the 2036 Olympic Games. The new center will offer top-tier training for para athletes, supported by significant infrastructure development.
