"Will Promote Merit In Sports": President Droupadi Murmu On India Hosting 2036 Olympics
President Droupadi Murmu feels that India's ambitious bid to host the 2036 Olympics is a step in the right direction as it would not just inspire people but also promote meritocracy in the country's sporting landscape. The president, who met senior PTI editors at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Wednesday for an exclusive interaction, also expressed her admiration for India's indigenous sports like kabaddi. "I do like watching sports although I did not get too many opportunities to play. But when I could, I preferred Indian sports," Murmu said.
