India's Olympic Dream: 'Rising Together' for 2036

India has launched its official vision, "Rising Together," for a potential 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games hosting bid. Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha announced that the nation's initial project presentation to the IOC's Future Host Commission will occur at the end of November. Ahmedabad has been identified as the proposed host city for this significant endeavor. India is currently among seven countries in discussion with the IOC regarding the 2036 Games.

The "Rising Together" vision emphasizes sport's role as a transformative force for India. Officials stated that hosting the Games would inspire widespread youth participation, foster healthier communities, and create new opportunities in education and employment. The IOA highlighted that this vision reflects a commitment to unite India's energy and diversity behind a shared Olympic dream.
