According to Jyothi, Minister Lokesh responded positively and assured her of comprehensive support from the government to help her aim for Olympic success. This includes assistance for advanced training, access to better facilities, and continued institutional backing to ensure she can compete at the highest international level. She also acknowledged receiving a cash award as a mark of encouragement and appreciation for her achievements.
Jyothi Yarraji said the Minister’s gesture made her feel supported like a family member, giving her confidence and motivation to pursue her Olympic dream with greater determination. She expressed heartfelt gratitude to Minister Nara Lokesh and the Andhra Pradesh government for standing by athletes and recognising sporting excellence at the right time.
With renewed assurance and structured support, Jyothi’s journey is now being seen as a strong example of how timely government encouragement can inspire athletes to aim higher and bring international glory to the nation.
