India's candidacy to host the 2036 Olympic Games offers a unique opportunity to boost its infrastructure, argue sports governance authorities. This could "turbo-charge" sports facility investment and urban planning, which could benefit the community and the country at large. The points highlighted are:
Infrastructure Boost: The bid provides an opportunity to elevate India's sporting infrastructure, potentially reaping rewards in the long term.
Sustainable Strategy: Ahmedabad's strategy incorporates sustainable facilities with post-Olympic use, shunning "white elephant" schemes.
People's Participation: The bid stresses public access and participation to guarantee the Games benefit the wider public.
Multi-City Option: Although Ahmedabad is the central city, multi-city hosting remains a possibility.
