On National Sports Day, we remember Major Dhyan Chand, not only for his immense contribution to Indian sports, but also for the inspiration his remarkable legacy continues to provide. As India advances on its journey towards a Viksit Bharat, may the spirit of sportsmanship and the values of discipline, determination and excellence continue to inspire our nation and its youth to strive for greater heights. #NationalSportsDay #CII4Sports @CIISports @YASMinistry @Media_SAI

Heartbroken to hear about Jaspal Rana’s passing. Jaspal was my teammate, and in many ways, part of a generation that helped shape Indian shooting. He was intense, gifted, and carried the pride of the country every time he stepped onto the range. This is a huge loss for our sport. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, students and everyone whose life he touched.

The National Sports Governance Act is designed to empower federations to govern themselves, with clear benchmarks, dispute‑resolution structures and ethical safeguards, so that Indian sport can deliver world‑class performance with strong, trusted institutions.

I convey my heartiest congratulations to both the Indian teams, women’s and men’s, for winning the inaugural Kho Kho World Cup. Indian players have demonstrated their supremacy in this traditional game of our country. I am sure that the historic success of our girls and boys will inspire our youth, making the game more popular. I wish both the teams sustained success in the future.

Sports has the power to break the cycle of poverty, especially in urban slums and rural areas. For women and girls, sports empower them with confidence, leadership, and decision-making skills, transforming not just their lives but entire communities. -Dr Nidhi Pundhir
