Yes, dreaming is a birth right, there is no harm dreaming about hosting Olympics, but turning into a reality is near impossible task at least, for now. Hosting any kind of International sporting event is a burden to the country's economy, especially in the developing nations. The budget should be around 1 billion dollars. When there is a huge money involved, that too under Government, without any doubt there will be corruption at all stages, from tender to implementation, inauguration till closing ceremony. Besides money you need manpower, that too skilled manpower. If you are running short of skilled. Manpower, you try to manage with the available labourers, hence delaying the project. Once you are done with the event, everything returns to the normal state. That huge aesthetically built stadium, 40 apartments containing 4000 rooms, everything built for athletes and audience, remain empty. You need to. Spend again for. Maintenance of these buildings, and stadium. So, this is all possible by a nation which has already grown up big and is saturated and is only all about diplomacy and world peace. But, we could really bring honour to our country first by winning some medals, using our pool of talents in the country.

Yes, Hosting the Olympics in India has been obtained but its not suddenly moreover only developed country has attained this kind of mega event based on his economic growth. In India related to sports having infrastructure, training is to be given but its not be an Olympic level. Government and private sector has provided budget for few sports. In my opinion first government want to implement some schemes for poverty eradication and then we come over with olympics. Based on corruption in sports so many talented athletics person has been affected. Hosting the Olympics we want to free from corruption, terror safe, poverty eradication and economically well growth.

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.

Yes, definitely India can dream about it. Nut at the same time, dreaming and achieving are both different and things. And on achieving part, my answer would be in a negative sense. It is difficult for it to host the Olympics games as of now at least as require huge cost which India, as well as any other developing country, might not b in a state to fund. India needs to spend on its infrastructural development and try to overcome the corruption problem.

Yes definitely we can, We just need to work on our infrastructural development for providing a proper environment for such a big event. Our country has resources and supplies that it needs to held such sporting events. We have successfully hosted cricket world cup, many a times, currently we are going to host junior FIFA world cup as well. Scams and scandals do take place but it nowhere means that we are not capable of hosting Olympics. Commwealt games, even after such scams and scandals, was a great success. Moreover, India is a country of Diversity there are lots of things that it can show to the world. Moreover, we don't even need infrastructural development of the whole nation. Some rapid development and changes in few developed cities and still satisfy the job, as it happened with Rio Olympics. Whole Brazil was not developed to host the Olympics only Rio was developed and the ultimate parameters for Olympics.

Every country has a dream to host Olympic but to make it possible it must to give an outstanding performance in Olympics. In that case, we are lacking behind so we should not discuss hosting of Olympic we should discuss our performance. If we increase our performance and continuously give a good result in Olympic, then it is sure that a day will come when we will host Olympic.

A dream for hosting the Olympic games in India is such as Cricket world Cup hosted by Afghanistan (Just got the entitlement to play test cricket). There are two dreams, one is hosting it and another is achieving some medals in this game. Though our participants give their best. But still, there is a need of some more efforts to let our country rule the list as we do in Cricket world cups or any match. If we are able to get to top 5 countries in medalist then we can somewhere think of hosting the Olympics. I personally feel that there is a lack of support provided by our Govt to these Olympian players. The way we support Indian cricket team, in that same manner we need to support other players of different sports background, this would lead to more medals in the favour of India and then we are capable of hosting Olympic Games because indirectly Olympic Games is a highly budgeted game.

Hii friends,
Olympics, the most renowned and revolutionary sports event n celebrations, that includes 44 sports, and more than 200 countries participating in that. India is the best country for organising such event. The wonderful talent emerging from India is the source of desire for every Indian to host Olympic, just like our India have done in 2010 Commonwealth games.
Before organising such event a time duration is given to a country fo development of infrastructures. I think Indian manpower is huge enough to build a great infrastructure required for accommodation of huge guest countries, in India.
And also more overall we actually need is to develop our nation, and it requires each individual efforts to implement this. Poverty, unemployment, corruption, slum areas, etc these things should have to be eradicated.
Third thing is training. Our hard working enthusiastic sports playing youth should be given world class training, and an awesome support of the government in form of huge funds. They should ensure that a proper care is given to players of India, then only we can give care to other country players.
At last I think, we don't need an awesome infrastructure, but we need a quite sufficient infrastructure and a promise to support the players very nicely with proper care and world class training and, then one day will come hoisting an Olympics game will no more be a dream, but will become a dream come true.
Thanks.

Hello friends.
In my opinion, I say yes, dreams are nothing but just like what we want to do in our future events but to full fill it we have to work according to that, we have that much strength, capacity to host an Olympic event. As firstly let's know about the general information that why and how we are capable of hosting an event like Olympic. As we stand 2 no. In population, so this shows that we have the power of manpower. More than 200 countries participate in Olympic and more than 40 different types sports events to be manage. This is not the big deal for us. But for that, we have to develop our infrastructure according to that. Because hosting an event like Olympic is not like hosting a Commonwealth Games. As per my views, we hosted the Commonwealth games but same way we struggle a lot. So some points to noticed while hosting such a big event.
Now, comes to benefits when we host the Olympic event. Firstly, it will help in the status of the country, it will generate employment opportunities. It will help money generation and economy growth.

India is one of the top developing countries in the world with maximum FDI inflows. Almost, all MNC's have their offices in India which state that we have developed from what we were ten to fifteen years back. If the country can have sports legends like Sachin Tendulkar, P. V Sindhu, Milkha Singh and numerous other on the list then, in my opinion, our country is capable of hosting the Olympics.
If we minus the scams of commonwealth then the current scenario of the country provides us with the resources of hosting Olympics. Our county country has hosted the world cup, Asian games, national games, Brics summit.
The current ministry has capable ministers to keep a proper check on the allocation of funds and hosting an international sports event like Olympics will only add to the glory of the nation. We do not need only a developed nation to host the event but a nation that can survive all odds of hosting the event. India has now upgraded itself and moved on higher rankings in all the fields. It's high time that the country should take a step ahead and initiate to host the grand event because we can do it!
