The medals tally at Rio Olympic games are definitely not up to the aspirations of the country and Narendra Modi announced the constitution of a ‘task force’, which will prepare the road map for the next three quadrennial Games :: 2020 (Tokyo), 2024 and 2028.
While speaking at a meeting of council of ministers, Modi said the task force would be entrusted with the job of preparing a comprehensive action plan for effective participation of Indian athletes in the next three Games.
The aim of task force would be set up in next few days and that would be to prepare a strategy for improvement of facilities. It has to be recalled that, by 2013, even before Modi became PM, he said,
"During Olympics, people often say despite its huge size, we don’t get medals. Have we linked sports with our education system? Did we give enough opportunity to our youth...? We can earn more medals without much interest. It requires a clear vision."
