Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the 109th episode of his famous program Mann Ki Baat, has praised the excellent performance of Madhya Pradesh in the country's first Multi Sport Beach Games held in Maldives.
The Prime Minister expressed happiness over the fact that such new platforms are continuously being created in India, in which players are getting a chance to showcase their potential. One such platform has been created for Beach Games which was organized in Diu.
Modi said that Beach Games were organized in Diu in the beginning of this year itself. This was India's first multi-sport Beach Games, in which competitions like Tug of War, Sea Swimming, Pancake Silt, Malkhamb, Beach Volleyball, Beach Kabaddi, Beach Soccer, and Beach Boxing were held, in which every competitor got ample opportunity to showcase his talent. .
Expressing delight at this, the Prime Minister said that "In this tournament, many players came from states which have no connection with the sea. Madhya Pradesh also won the maximum number of medals in this tournament; there are no sea beaches in MP. It is this temperament towards sports that makes any country the king of the sports world.
