IOA Positive on 2036 Olympics, India to Bid, 'India Plays' Program
India is hoping to host the 2036 Olympics and is currently in talks with the Olympic committee.
Although things look promising, it's too early to say if India will get the games.
Other countries, like Qatar, are also trying to host.
The decision might take a couple of years because the Olympic committee is reviewing its process.
India's chances of hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games have also improved.
Also, India's Olympic association is starting a program called 'India Plays' to get more people involved in sports.
IOA is positive about India hosting the 2036 Olympics but it's premature to predict.
Qatar has begun a dialogue process with the IOC for the 2036 Games.
The host country for the 2036 Olympics may be known in two years due to an IOC pause.
India's chances for the 2030 CWG have improved after Canada withdrew.
IOA is launching the 'India Plays' program on National Sports Day to encourage sports participation.
