        solved. In such a situation, the Prime Minister gave a

            We have noticed this in the accolades we
            received at the sports world in the last few
            days. It’s not that we did not have such great
            talent in the past. It is not that our sons
            and daughters, the youth of India, are not            So, my 130 crore countrymen,
