The historic G.V. Raja Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram is set for a proposed Rs 100-crore renovation to meet international standards and support India's 2036 Olympic bid. Union Minister of State for Tourism, Suresh Gopi, has initiated discussions with Kerala University officials to develop a master plan for the revamp. The stadium, previously neglected, aims to become a world-class athletics venue, complementing Ahmedabad's role as the main host city if India is selected by the International Olympic Committee in 2029.
