After India’s bid to host the Olympics 2036, two-time world champion boxer Nikhat Zareen said that while the bid would motivate sportspersons we need to establish Sports Authority of India (SAI) centres in every state to nurture sports development.

The bid has strong Indian government support, yet, the boxer told news agencies that we need to up the number of centres and they should be accessible to all juniors who are training to break into higher ranks and reach world levels in their sport.
