You've made India proud': PM to team for G20 event

"You (the functionaries) are the ones who worked day and night to make the G20 Summit a success and made the whole country proud, and some are unknown to many. If any Olympian wins a medal for the country and makes us proud, they are hailed for years. But many won't know how many ground-level functionaries of the G20 Summit worked for the event and under what conditions. But you too made the country proud," the Prime Minister said during an interaction at Bharat Mandapam in Pragati Maidan.
