New Delhi [India], July 26 (ANI): With the IOC Session held in India in October 2023 after a gap of 40 years, India took a giant first step in establishing itself as a key country in the global Olympic movement, showcasing the new, ambitious India to the world. Building on the momentum from the IOC Session, India is taking a bold step forward in its global sporting ambitions with the first-ever India House at the upcoming Paris Olympics 2024. This landmark initiative aims to propel India towards becoming a dominant force in global sports, fostering greater success at the Olympics and charting a course towards hosting the Games in the future.
India House falls under the ambitions of the Reliance Foundation and the Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) long-term partnership, which aims to elevate the performances of Indian athletes, support the national sports federations and build the credentials of India as a global sporting nation, with an aspiration to host the Olympic Games in the future. A cornerstone feature of the Olympic Games, Olympic Hospitality Houses serve as a platform for participating countries to showcase their culture, hospitality, and national pride to athletes, media, visitors, and supporters. These houses serve as a space for fans to celebrate and support their athletes/ teams during competitions, and act as a "home away from home" for athletes and their families during the Games.
