Hosting 2036 Olympics is India's dream, preparations on: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday asserted that India has the ability to stage large-scale global events and said the country is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to host the Olympics in 2036.

Along with India, several other nations such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey are positioning themselves as strong contenders to host the sporting spectacle. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is expected to decide the host only next year after holding its elections.
