Rajyavardhan Rathore

Sports minister Rajyavardhan Rathore asserted on Monday that he wants to see India become a sports equipment manufacturing hub for the world. Addressing a confluence of international and national delegates from various sporting federations, leagues and companies, Rathore emphasised the need to change the mindset of the country and the federation towards sports. "Nothing like sports that breaks all barriers across regions, race or creed. We plan to make India a force to reckon with in the field of sports and need support from private sector," the minister told reporters.
