She highlighted the importance of early exposure to sports science and called for R&D expansion to rural areas, underscoring the vision of Prime Minister Modi.

Furthermore, Khadse stressed the 'Make in India' initiative to minimize import dependency and recommended using Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for sports, seeing it as an economic opportunity.
