On India’s 77th Independence Day, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs and Oil and Natural Gas, released a rendition of India’s national anthem featuring athletes leading glory to India in various sports and were supported by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, here yesterday.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri said, “Sports in India is an emotion and nurturing India’s sporting talent is in line with moving the nation forward on the global stage. In the sporting arena it is not victory or defeat that matters, it is the spirit of sport and sportsmanship that brings cheer to the nation. On this auspicious day, the sports anthem launched by IndianOil rekindles the nation’s passion for sports and the continued support of multiple sports including para-athletics embodies the essence of “Nation First, Always First”.

Shri Puri has also unveiled an inspirational music video titled ‘Jaya Hey’ a creative expression meaning ‘Nation First and First Always’a principle that permeates every aspect of life, promoting global progress.

The video beautifully captures the deep dedication and commitment these athletes have to their sport and most importantly their unwavering determination and tireless pursuit to raise India’s stature on the global sporting stage. This endeavor aims to show every Indian sportsman who strives for excellence during his youth and achieves unprecedented feats.

This initiative has the potential to inspire all Indians, and hopefully ‘Jaya Hey’ will motivate every Indian to contribute to our great nation, making the motto of our Honorable Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi – ‘Nation First and First Always ” – a reality!
