PM Modi's Letter to Neeraj Chopra 's Mother

"Respectful greetings! I hope you are healthy, safe, and happy. Yesterday, at the banquet held on the occasion of the Jamaican Prime Minister's visit to India, I had the opportunity to meet brother Neeraj. My joy increased during our discussions when he gave me the delicious churma made by you," Modi wrote in his letter. "After eating this churma today, I couldn't stop myself from writing to you. Brother Neeraj often talks to me about this churma, but today, after tasting it, I became emotional. This gift, filled with your immense love and warmth, reminded me of my mother."

PM Modi expressed that it was quite special to receive the treat just before the Navratri festival, a time of devotion in Hindu culture.

"During these 9 days of Navratri , I fast. In a way, your churma has become my main sustenance before my fast. Just as the food you prepare gives brother Neeraj the energy to win medals for the country, this churma will give me the strength to serve the nation for the next 9 days," he noted.

"On the occasion of the Navratri festival of strength, I assure you and all the mothers across the country that I will continue to work tirelessly with even more dedication to realize the vision of a developed India," it concludes.

Neeraj Chopra won the Gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics . Following that he went on to win the World Championship of Javelin as well. He is a Diamond League champion too. Chopra aimed to repeat the Tokyo Olympics heroics in Paris 2024 but this time he had to settle for a Silver medal.
