00:00I am so happy that it is nicely organized and I am so happy that we have organized COCO here and even I played, when I was a kid, I played COCO. I enjoyed doing it.
00:12And I think when you start playing it, you won't worry about anything. You will play all out and afterwards you will get a pen everywhere.
00:19It means everybody, it works. So it is a good game to be encouraged and even it is there in the national games also.
00:26Ma'am, you talked about the national games. Can we see COCO going into the Olympics?
00:32Slowly it should be. It will come later. We will see. We will promote.
00:37Ma'am, we are targeting 2036 Olympics in India. So we are promoting local games like Kabaddi, COCO, which are of Indian origin.
00:43So will these things help India in hosting the games or having our own sport?
00:48We see our own sport always. We want it to be in Asian games and Commonwealth or maybe in Olympics and all.
00:56But it is a long time. But COCO has to be promoted.
01:01Ma'am, on a very serious note, since we are talking about the 2036 Olympics and we have already sent our letter of intent, how exactly IOA is progressing in terms of…
01:14See, it is a vision of Prime Minister. It has to be done. So we are serious. We want it.
01:25Where are we now?
01:28That just started. The time is there but we started already.
01:35Final question to you, ma'am. You can skip if you want. But again, how exactly IOA is coping up all the things which is being…
01:48It is going on now. It will come in line. That much only I can say.
01:57A small message for the players. How can they build the stamina for the game of COCO?
02:27It has to be encouraged.
02:29Thank you, ma'am. Thank you for your time, ma'am.
02:31Specially, ma'am, we have got a lot of recognition from your state.
02:46First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Adaniya Mittal ji that he has brought our Indian game and specially Maharashtra's traditional game to the world level.
02:59And today, the World Cup COCO is taking place in India for the first time. It is a matter of pride for all of us.
03:08Today, you can see that it has been inaugurated in the presence of our country's Vice President and our Cabinet Minister, Mr. Mansoor.
03:19I have full hope that this sport, this game, which is our traditional game, will reach more and more countries and this game will go to great heights.
03:29Because the way this game is connected to our soil, the way Mr. Mittal and his entire team have worked very hard to bring this game forward, I would like to congratulate all the players on my behalf.
03:45And today, the special thing is that it has started with our Indian team.
03:50Ma'am, it is the dream of our country that the way the World Cup has been organized in India, similarly, the players of India should also be standing on the podium of the Olympics.
03:59How is the Sports Ministry helping KKFI or will it help? Please tell us about it.
04:05When Mr. Mansoor came here, he also said that COCO should also go to the Asian Games and definitely it will go to the Asian Games.
04:15When the Olympics will be held in India in 2036, we will definitely see COCO there.
04:23Ma'am, one last question. Since you have mentioned the Olympics here and everyone is so interested that it will be a proud moment for us when the Olympics will be held in India.
04:32How are you progressing? The letter of intent has gone, but how is the process going on?
04:37In how many states are we thinking of organizing different displays? What is the process? Where are we standing now?
04:45Regarding the Olympics, we can see that for the past 5-6 years, we have been trying to bring the game to every home.
04:55It is Mr. Modi's dream that the game should be played in every home.
