Recalling his meeting with the defender and the rest of the country’s Tokyo 2020 contingent, the Prime Minister urged Lakra to strengthen India’s Amrit Mahotsav by visiting various schools or colleges by August 2023. It is remarkable how you have always remained humble despite scaling soaring heights of success, Modi wrote in the letter. One of the things the coming generation of athletes can learn from you is a spirit of resilience. Yet, things changed so soon and the credit for such a positive transformation goes to players like Lakra, who kept the faith and worked hard for the regeneration of Indian hockey. PM Modi said that hockey was not considered to be the most glamorous of sports. You also continued the glorious tradition of Odisha producing outstanding hockey players, particularly defenders. He wrote ‘You began playing hockey at a time when no Indian could imagine our nation would win an Olympics medal in the near future. In a touching letter to the ace player, the Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to Lakra. Lakra recently retired from the sport after an illustrious career. He appreciated the contribution of Lakra to Indian hockey.
Even Prime Minister Modi couldn’t stop himself from praising the ace athlete. India’s star defender and Odisha’s pride Birendra Lakra has impressed everyone with his excellent skills on the hockey turf.
