Preparations for the 2036 Olympics have also started in Gujarat. He said that this year a budget of Rs 376 crore has been allocated for sports. Jai keeps losing in this athletic meet but we should always be careful so that the name of the country becomes bright and the country moves forward. I wish all the best for NIDJAM 2024 and continuation of such great sporting events.
