Prime Minister congratulated the Indian junior women's hockey team, which won the Asia Cup twice in a row, giving new impetus to the development of women's sports in the country.
After securing a consecutive second victory in the Asia Cup, the Prime Minister personally congratulated the Indian junior women's hockey team. The Prime Minister praised the dedication and hard work of the team's coach, captain, and all players, and described this achievement as a significant milestone for the future of Indian sports. He said that this win by the young players has revived enthusiasm for hockey in the country and demonstrates that with proper training, basic facilities, and continuous support, India's standing on the international stage can be strengthened.
In the tournament, the Indian team displayed strategic play against its opponents and recorded a decisive victory, maintaining its unbeaten record. This win not only boosted the team's confidence but also brought about a positive shift in societal attitudes toward women's sports in the country. The Ministry of Sports, on this occasion, pledged to accelerate new scholarship schemes for young female athletes and proposals for the development of infrastructure.
Experts believe that such international successes underscore the need for long‑term investment in India's sports policy. They suggest that hockey receive greater encouragement at the school level, and that training centres be established in rural areas so that talent can be discovered and nurtured more broadly. With the Prime Minister's congratulations and the government's commitment, the Indian junior women's hockey team can look forward to success on even larger stages in the future.
