For any athlete receiving an award, it is a truly great feeling—a source of immense happiness…I think it is essential.
The way PM Modi and the various ministries support us—especially sportspersons—is remarkable. Our job is to play, but the support we receive doubles our confidence. When we step onto the field, or look forward to the next competition or a potential victory, the knowledge that we will be felicitated or receive an award really encourages us" Singh told news agency ANI.

I feel very proud to have been invited here for this. I want to say that I am a huge fan of PM Modi. The way he—as Prime Minister—is so deeply involved in sports and offers such immense support is remarkable; he stays informed about every player and every victory, offering encouragement and even tweeting about them." Recalling the defeat of the Indian cricket team in the 2023 World Cup, he added: “When India lost the 2023 World Cup, he personally visited the dressing room and motivated the team… If you ask me seriously, it is a huge achievement because winning back-to-back trophies is very rare.
