In the lead-up to the Paris Olympics 2024, the newly appointed Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Mansukh Mandaviya, held a review meeting on Thursday in New Delhi to discuss India’s preparations. This marked the first meeting between the Sports Minister and the President of the India Olympic Association (IOA), PT Usha.
Several key figures attended the meeting, including Sports Secretary Sujata Chaturvedi, Director General of the Sports Authority of India Sandip Pradhan, and Minister of State for Sports Raksha Khandse.
