Sports Minister Vijay Goel and five-time world champion MC Mary Kom on Tuesday August 02,2016 wished the Rio Olympics-bound athletes luck and launched a 'Digital Campaign of Wishes' for the Indian contingent.

In order to promote awareness about the Olympic Games in the country, Goel inaugurated 'Wall of Wishes' at India Gate Lawns here at a function which was attended by SAI DG Injeti Srinivas, sports secretary Rajiv Yadav, besides Mary Kom.

"We have tried to connect public with Olympics. People who come to India Gate they can write their wishes for the Indian athletes in the wall," Goel told reporters even as a sizeable crowd watched the unveiling of the 'Wall of Wishes'.

"We are launching an exhibition at Central Park in Cannaught Place from August 5th to 21st, where matches will be screened 24x7 and people can watch the Games and also take selfies with the cut-outs of the Rio-bound Indian athletes.

"We have also launched a campaign in twitter. You can wish and support the Rio-bound athletes by changing your profile picture on twitter. You have to tweet #KheloIndia to @indiasports to cheer and demonstrate solidarity with the Indian players," he added.
