New Delhi: India's performance in Tokyo Olympics 2020 has been a mixed one so far. After 12 days of the event, the country has got only two medals, one by weightlifter Mirabai Chanu and the other by badminton player PV Sindhu. At the same time, in many other sports, there have been disappointments from serious medal contenders. However, despite all this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is actively encouraging the players. There are still some players who are in the fray for medals.

Meanwhile, on August 15, on the occasion of Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort, PM Modi will invite the entire Indian Olympic contingent as special guests.

PM Modi will meet and encourage the players personally at that time. This time, India has sent the largest team of 127 players in the history of the country's Olympics movement. After the participants return from Tokyo, they will also be sent an invitation letter from the Prime Minister.
