Prime Minister Narendra Modi has commended the Indian contingent for their remarkable performance at the 2025 Asian Athletics Championships, which concluded recently in South Korea.
In a message shared on social media platform X, the Prime Minister celebrated the athletes’ dedication and hard-earned success.
“India is proud of our contingent for their stupendous performance at the recently held 2025 Asian Athletics Championships in South Korea. The hard work and determination of every athlete were clearly visible throughout the tournament. Best wishes to the athletes for their future endeavours,” PM Modi posted.
The Prime Minister’s message has drawn wide appreciation from the sports fraternity and the public, as the Indian athletics team brought home a significant medal haul and set new benchmarks for the country in track and field events.
The 2025 edition of the Championships saw India compete against top Asian nations in a range of athletic disciplines, from sprints and long-distance events to throws and jumps.
PM Modi’s statement highlighted the exceptional efforts made by each athlete in representing the nation with distinction.
He noted that their grit, perseverance, and competitive spirit were evident across the tournament.
By acknowledging their success, the Prime Minister has once again demonstrated his long-standing support for Indian sports and the importance he places on nurturing athletic talent.
The Prime Minister’s praise comes amid a growing national focus on sporting excellence and the government’s continued investment in sports infrastructure, training facilities, and athlete welfare under initiatives such as Khelo India and Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS).
These efforts have been instrumental in enhancing India’s international sporting profile.
Athletes and coaches across the country have welcomed the Prime Minister’s encouraging words, seeing them as a morale booster ahead of upcoming international competitions, including the 2026 Commonwealth Games and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Furthermore, PM Modi’s recognition will motivate a new generation of aspiring sportspersons.
The Indian contingent’s performance in South Korea has reignited national pride and enthusiasm for athletics.
Their achievements serve not only as a testament to their personal discipline and sacrifice but also as a symbol of India’s rising stature in global sports.
With the Prime Minister personally applauding their achievements, the athletes are returning home with more than just medals- they carry the hopes and admiration of an entire nation.
