Every country has a dream to host Olymics. But for achieving this dream our country has to be done a lot of work. We have a huge number of resources to done it but due to our nature of corruption as a political leader and lack of responsibilities taken is a major cause of concern. If we go through our past experience of organising not Olympic but common wealth Delhi is major issues of improvement. It is necessary to put break on scams. There is no dought we have a lot of potential, finicial power, hard working skill but deficiency is only in will power. If grease take initiative to organise olymic than we can definitely do it. Organising Olympic is not only a event organising it will show the world our cultures, hospitality, our infrastructure which will attract foreign investors also. It is good for country.

Hosting of Olympics is a prestigious issue for the most of the countries, as it will reflect the luxuriantness of the country. But the people tend to view sugar-coated reality, by viewing it in the perspective of the prestige of a country. Millions of dollars is spent by the country that is going to host olympics, for creating infrastructure for new stadiums and expansion of capacity of present stadiums, and the worst part of the organisation is the misuse of the funds allocated for the purpose of infrastructure, as there is evident example of this, in our country which is CommonWealth games scam. Olympic hosting is not that important as the country needs to address the most serious issue of our nation i.e malnutrition. After addressing these basic problems it's better to concentrate on hosting of Olympics.

Hi friends, I would like to share some of my views regarding hosting Olympics in INDIA.
Of course, we can dream of hosting Olympics in our country, but the main problem is our country's economic status. We need to improve a lot. Olympics is a world wide game, definitely, people will expect a better hospitality and better accommodations with proper facilities. Not only the participants we need to satisfy the people coming across the world to watch it. So there is a need for a good infrastructure and high-class facilities for them. I am not under estimating our country as it is poor or doesn't have many facilities, but m saying that we really need to improve a lot and work hard to show our country's power in a global level. Then only we will be noticed and will get an opportunity to serve them.
Thank you.

I am in the favour of India hosting the Olympic games. Some people will argue about the infrastructure and the money involved but we have already hosted the hockey world cup and u-17 football world cup. Its high time that we bid for Olympic as well. It will be a good thing for an Asian nation to host the Olympics. It will put a global footprint of India in the political as well as economic scenario. In a country where people follow cricket as a religion, it will be very beneficial to encourage other sports and events and athletes involved in them. Surely India doesn't have the infrastructure but we can try. QATAR has already started preparing for 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP. So why can't India? asian countries will move one step closer in removing the disparity between their American and European counterparts.

Hi, everyone. As far as I concern the failure of 2010 commonwealth game is a clear example of blatant corruption in India, this giant didn't even leave games. This dirty politics has contaminated sportsmanship as well. Before being a host of this world's greatest games event where all eyes will be on us and its an opportunity to showcase our ability indeed I would say the opportunity to alter its flaws of 2010 commonwealth games, we should first uproot the corruption. I would like to drag the attention towards where we stand in terms of medals in Olympics. We do not have a great statistics of winning medals, however, in spite of being cable of winning medals many do not get a chance to even participate. Hence, firstly we have to create an opportunity for our players then we can think about hosting it.

Of course, we can. Problems like corruption and poverty will always persist and people will always try to find fault with each and everything but that shouldn't deter a rapidly developing country to take such a wonderful initiative. They say that even god can't find fault with those who remain idle. Unless we can gather enough courage to host such a wonderful event, we won't be aware of our state in world economy. Also we very recently successfully hosted the FIFA U-17 world cup, so there's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't venture to take such a bright initiative. This would also provide our athletes a golden opportunity to brush shoulders with the very best and someday we might be bettering China or US' medal tally. And the stage would also be set to introduce cricket as one of the chief events.

According to my viewpoint, as of now, we cannot just think of hosting a grand mega event like Olympics. Hosting such an event requires a huge expenditure in improving infrastructure facilities. We are already short of resources and if for a sec, we assume that we have surplus resources we should consider other problems first which needs utmost attention. A large proportion of the population is living below poverty line, millions are unemployed, and various other issues of great concern.
I understand that hosting such an event will encourage sports other than cricket, the economic growth rate will also increase but what about the funds.
If India wants to continue its dream of becoming a developed nation in the near future then it has to employ its financial resources in the best possible manner.

At this point of time, it would not be fair with our nation to push it toward financial distress by spending billions of dollar by organising Olympics. In the midst of peasants' growing financial crisis within country, dissenting among youths' over unemployment and persistently reducing education quality, it would be gross injustice to our own people by hoisting Olympics.
But yes as like everything it has positive aspects as well from which we can't turn our head away - athleticism and sportsmanship will be encouraged as they compete with person around the globe, definitely stature of the nation will be recognised at the world level and we will have an unprecedented opportunity to witness such a huge sports event.
Hence, according to my point of view, hosting Olympics should be a dream for now.

Yes, apparently we must host. India is still emerging in every eye and every citizen of other nations. Indian players are being in news from earlier, last time when we hosted Olympics then India was on the 2nd rank of achieving higher than many other countries. We don't have to look whether India is developed or developing the country. We must think what level we achieve after hosting events. Norway Sudan are a well-developed country, are they going to host every event?
Every country must get a chance. We should look beyond hosting the events. We must be thought about things such as if India will host any events then the public and private sector will work good so that investors in India from other countries will also increase this is how we can increase the efficiency of developing India.

In my view, every Indian citizen want to see its country progressing. Olympics. The modern Olympic Games or Olympics are leading international sporting events featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Indian Olympic Association says it will bid for three major sporting events " the 2026 Youth Olympics, the 2030 Asian Games and the 2032 Summer Olympics. This will give lots of exposure to local talent. The things we need to to keep in mind we should not do same scam as was done in commenwealth games by suresh kadmadi lacks of carore of money being taken for self benifit and lack of facility for sports person who came from diffrent countries. Govt should supervise the games and its event.
