He re-affirmed the country's bid to host the 2036 Olympics in India, something which has been highlighted by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. The union minister added that preparations have also started for the same. The decision to introduce ten stadiums could help India's chances to bring the Summer Olympics to the country, which will be hosted in Los Angeles and Brisbane in the upcoming two editions in 2028 and 2032.

"India has resolved to hold the 2036 Olympic Games in these 10 complexes. Gujarat has already started preparations for this event," Amit Shah revealed, as quoted by PTI.

Amit Shah also spoke highly of the upcoming Para High-Performance Centre, which he believes would deliver a platform for the strengths of the ones who are differently-abled. The Union Minister also expressed that it would play a key role in delivering top-tier training to the para-athletes of Gujarat, and it would help develop them for competitions of all levels.

"It will provide a platform for the strengths of the differently-abled. In the past, people used derogatory words for the differently-abled, which created a sense of inferiority in them. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has instilled confidence in the differently-abled by giving them the respectful word 'divyang'," The Union Minister of India said.
