Indian President Ram Nath Kovind hosted a High Tea at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre on 14th August. The Honorable President appreciated and congratulated the Indian athletes who participated in the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics.

“The entire country is proud of our Olympians for bringing glory to the nation. This team has won the highest number of medals for India in Olympics. The entire country is proud of this and many congratulations to you all,” President Kovind said while addressing the Indian contingent.

Appreciating the performance of Indian Women at Olympic he said “We are especially proud of those daughters who even after facing so many problems displayed world-class performance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, you have given the country a reason to celebrate.”

“I want to tell you that 130 crore Indians were praying for your success and were supporting you with joy. After many years when at the Olympics our Indian flag was hoisted at the top and the national anthem was played, at that time feeling of our country was tied up with Neeraj Chopra,” he added.

He also acknowledged the role of other members who worked and prayed for the success of our Olympians. “I appreciate the role played by coaches, support staff, family members, and well-wishers who contributed to your preparations. I once again congratulate you all on your excellent efforts. I wish all of you set new records in the future,” he said.
