Haryana has set an ambitious target of winning 36 medals at the 2036 Olympic Games. The announcement reflects the state’s strong commitment to sports development and athlete support.
Sports Minister Gaurav Gautam shared the goal during a ceremony in Chandigarh. He said Haryana wants to strengthen its position as one of India’s leading sporting states. The government plans to focus on talent development, better coaching, and improved training facilities.
As part of this effort, the state recently recruited 33 new coaches. These coaches will work with athletes at different levels and help young players improve their skills. The government believes that quality coaching plays a key role in producing future champions.
The target is part of Haryana’s larger Mission Olympics 2036 program. Under this initiative, officials will identify talented children at an early age. They will then receive professional training, guidance, and support throughout their sporting journey. The program aims to create a strong pipeline of athletes for international competitions.
Haryana already enjoys a reputation as India’s sports powerhouse. The state has produced several Olympic, Commonwealth Games, and Asian Games medal winners. Many athletes from Haryana have represented India with distinction on the global stage.
To encourage sports participation, the government offers scholarships, cash rewards, and job opportunities to successful athletes. It also continues to invest in modern sports infrastructure across the state.
Officials believe that early talent identification and long-term training can help Haryana achieve its ambitious goal. They also expect these efforts to boost India’s overall Olympic performance.
With a clear vision and continued investment in sports, Haryana hopes to inspire a new generation of athletes and make a significant contribution to India’s success at the 2036 Olympics.
