The event will allow young athletes and sports enthusiasts to interact directly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discuss the development of sports in the country. The programme is part of the broader Khelo India campaign, which seeks to promote sports at the grassroots level and identify young talent. It is expected to feature discussions on sports policy, infrastructure, and opportunities for aspiring sportspersons. The exact date and venue for the event are yet to be announced. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Khelo India programme, launched in 2018 by the sports ministry, has an annual budget of around Rs 800 crore and targets school and college athletes. This interactive format with the prime minister follows earlier town-hall style events and seeks to give young athletes a direct channel to policymakers. The success will be measured by concrete follow-ups on issues raised, such as coaching access or equipment shortages. The sports ministry is expected to announce the event date and participant selection process soon. ## Coverage - newsonair.gov.in Framed as a positive initiative connecting youth to the prime minister's vision, without critical or contrasting viewpoints.
