During his address, the Prime Minister first extended his congratulations to the Indian women’s cricket team for clinching the ICC Women’s World Cup and emphasized India’s outstanding performance at the recently concluded Deaflympics in Tokyo, where the country achieved a remarkable 20 medal haul.

“This month has been a remarkable period for sports in India. It started with the Indian women's team triumphing in the ICC Women’s World Cup. Following that, we witnessed more thrilling events on the field.
