India, in recent years, has witnessed a massive spike in the number of sports persons shining and bringing glory to the nation and the same can be testified by the total tally of medals India added at the Commonwealth Games 2022. The final tally stands at 61 medals (Gold 22, Silver 16, and Bronze 23) with Indian athletes shining across all the sports and events.

It is never a cakewalk for athletes and sportspersons to win a medal at an international event representing the country. It is the years of hard work, rigorous routine and a lot of practise and training that goes into making a name for oneself. They are no less than an inspiration for the upcoming generation and it is very important to give them their well-deserved recognition. Catering to the same, Shubham Rathi, the Founder and CEO of Share Dekho and Ghar Dekhoo, who also happens to be the State President of Uttar Pradesh Students Union (UPSU) and the State President of All India Jat Mahasabha, announced the felicitation ceremony to recognise and honour the Indian medalists who brought glory to India. The felicitation ceremony will be organised at a grand level in the first week of September this year and Rakesh Tikait of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) is likely to be present at the event who will be awarding these medalists with a token of appreciation.

Talking more about the need for appreciating the hard work of Indian athletes, Shubham Rathi, the State President of Uttar Pradesh Students Union (UPSU) stated,” The 2022 Commonwealth Games held at Birmingham was a huge success for India with about 200 Indian athletes competing for medals across 16 different sports. It is indeed great to witness India winning 61 medals at the various events like Wrestling, Boxing, Table Tennis, Squash, and etcetera. I personally believe India has successfully broken the myth that the country is all about Cricket and it is a positive sign to see our athletes soaring to new horizons of success. It is also essential to recognise and appreciate their efforts so that they are motivated and keep working hard with utmost dedication and sincerity. This is the reason we have decided to honour them so that not only them but the upcoming generation also gets inclined towards playing a variety of sports.”
