Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a heartwarming moment from his visit to Gangtok, where he joined young football enthusiasts for an energising m
orning session. Taking to social media, the Prime Minister expressed his joy, calling it a refreshing experience to play football with children amid the scenic beauty of Sikkim.
“Clearly, an energising football session with these youngsters! Nothing like playing some football with my young friends in Sikkim on a lovely Gangtok morning,” he posted.
The interaction showcased the Prime Minister’s continued emphasis on youth engagement, fitness, and sports development across India. Football, in particular, has been gaining traction among young players in the Northeast, and such moments help inspire grassroots participation.
Modi’s visit to Sikkim, coinciding with official engagements, also reflected a softer, people-centric approach—connecting with the younger generation beyond formal events.
The cheerful visuals of the session quickly went viral, drawing positive reactions across social media.
This initiative aligns with the government’s broader push for sports under campaigns promoting fitness and active lifestyles, especially among India’s youth.
