Yes, why can't we dream of hosting the Olympics, in my opinion, there is every possible way of hosting such a huge event. We all know India has hosted events like Cricket World Cup and Commonwealth Games, yes CWG was not very successful as many scams took place but this time it is Mr.Narendra Modi's Gov, the way he is working towards India making it corruption free & has promoted India globally so far reduces the chances of scams to null.

While talking of financial issues, apart from Gov, some of the India's leading companies like Tata, Reliance, Wipro can take initiative in terms of monetary funds for conducting such noble event.

On an average, 200 countries participate in Olympics which will augment the goodwill of our country globally. In the end, I like to conclude by saying INDIA is a country where many sports are appreciated and have enormous sports lovers, the great audience will boost for Indian Athletes so there will be a good chance of bringing more Gold Medals in the home.

Hello Guys,

As per my opinion, India will be more happy if Indians win medals in Olympics and make India proud by hosting their flag in Olympics rather than hosting Olympics in India. We all know that performances of our sports persons are not satisfactory in the Olympics and there are so many reasons for that. They need the support from the government in terms of Infrastructure, coaching, money, economic security etc. Either they do not have Infrastructure and coaches or if Infrastructure and training facilities are available to them are not of Olympics level. Even they do not have enough food and nourishments which is needed for their fitness to participate in the Olympics. Our Olympics participants need motivation for improvement in their performances so I think that we should spend money on the participants and make India proud by their performance in Olympics.

At the same time, I don't want to be negative about the capabilities of our country and want to add that If we keep the problems of our sportspersons away from this topic then yes it would be a privilege to host the Olympics. We already have the experience of hosting commonwealth games so this time we will be more prepared to host the Olympics. Hosting Olympics will attract the attention of the tourists in India. It will make the Indians aware about the other sports.

I would like to conclude that though it is a privilage to host olympics but our priority should be to prepare the participants to perform well in Olympics.

If we are talking about dreams than any country can dream of hosting Olympics. But when we talk about to make it true then especially with India we need some important improvements to make it true. The very first thing we need to improve is our player's conditions and performance as we have already seen our players performances in Olympics. We should provide them with that much of facilities and training to perform very well in Olympic so that our medals positions will get closer to the top and they will also realize that India has the capability to play to win and to host Olympic.

The second improvement we need is that we have to control on our corruption level as economy varies a lot to host Olympic level of games and Indian economy is not at all bad but what bad is our corruption that we have already seen in commonwealth games so to make the dream come true we need to work on our corruption.

The third improvement we need is to education and awareness as in India so much of players cannot even show their talent to anyone because of their parents and relative thinks that there is no future in games, so what we need is to aware them to support their children for their talent.

So, when we get over from these things then one day definitely India will be the host of Olympic games.

Hello everyone,

At this moment, I don't think that India is capable enough of hosting the Olympics, reasons been-.

1- A large amount of money is spent in hosting the Olympics. For e.g, the total expenditure of the Rio Olympics is estimated to be around $4. 6 billion, and that of London Olympics 2012 is around $15 billion. In case of India, being a developing country, spending such a huge amount may not be a wise decision. Instead, we should spend this money on other fields like in medicines, science, technology, research etc.

2- India is constantly in threat of terrorist attacks, and has witnessed a number of ceasefire violations by Pakistan. In order to host the Olympics, India first needs to address the security issues which are pertaining here. In order to ensure the security of around 25000 delegates/representatives (or more) from different nations, a large amount of money, as well as security personnel, are needed.

3- India had hosted the 2010 Commonwealth games, in which around 71 countries participated. This was supposed to be the proud moment for India, but eventually, became the shameful moment, because of the various scams, poor management and several other controversies.

Keeping in mind, the above points, I think that at this present scenario, India is not in the position to host Olympics. Thanks a lot.

Hey everyone, Good Mourning to all of you.

As the technology growing faster day by day, so we can dream of hosting olympics but not now. As the technology growing, economy also increases but our country does not have well infrastructure, good coaches to host olympics, our country doesn't provide security, service and hospitality to all those foreigners and sportsman. The main reason for all this is corruption and scam which is done by many peoples or frauds, first of all our country has to eradicate corruption or uproot from the bottom of level and also make sure that every citizen can fead food before sleep, No one can sleep without food. It also ensure to provide employement to every citizen or reeduce unemployment in country Due to all this our economy become strong. Govt also encourage Indian citizen about their interest of olympics games because only 5-10% peoples show their insterest and most of the people wants their children to show their talent or chose carrier in science stream because they realize that in sports their children can spoil their future, and no carrier in sportss.

These are the some points that our govt should improve to host olymics in future,

1. Make economy stronger.
2. Make peoples interest in olymics.
3. Provide better coaches and funds so that new youth can chose their carrier in sports.
4. Encourage Sportsman and maintain leadership amoung all.

At last, I would like to say that,

Dream is not what we see during sleep, but dream is something which do not let us sleep,

Everything is possible if we can dream, we can do it.

Yes, we can see the dream of hosting Olympics. But not now, because our country has no sufficient infrastructure development to host the Olympics. It need more fund and our country are not in condition to take more burden of this because our first need is to educate India. In India there is many rural areas where is lack of education and technology. Technology is one more aspect that is stop India to host Olympics. I am not saying that India has no technology development it has but not on those stage that situation want. So India need to grow their tchnology area. Which is far possible from education. Education and technology linked to each other. If all people of Indian will be educated then they will give the new technical idea to our country. In modern era youth is a strength of a country. Youth can make the country and can diminish the country. And the another point is lack of awareness among our country`s people. Many people in our country they don`t no about the sports. So how can they participate and became part of this event. So firstly we should spread awareness among people. And we havr to make our sports man as capable as they win more medal in Olympics otherwise it is as a insult of our country and diminish our pride.

In conclusion, we can surely have a dream of hosting Olympics but after that developments (technology, infrastructure and education).

Yes, we can host but from my point of view in India, most of the people are concentrating on cricket most of the people don't have an idea about other games so first, we have to invest the money in building sports college and start training athletes.

One day India will definitely host the Olympics.

According to my point of view, even though conducting Olympic games is pride for India, just think about the condition of India.

1. A lot of money needs to conduct Olympics in India and also good infrastructure is needed. In India there are many things to improve (roads, arena, etc), first, we have to improve that. Still, India is developing country. First, we should change India as developed country.

2. In India, politics are corrupted. They (politician) never allow the talented person to come forward.

So that India always got less no of gold medals in Olympic.

3. Amount spent for 2006 Olympics is only 5000 crore.

Beijing Olympic spent 28000 crores in 2008, but Indian government recorded that they spend 70000 crores for Olympic in this most of the money are scammed.

So I think it is better not conducting Olympic games in India nowadays.

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

According to my point of view, Dreaming about something can never go wrong but for changing the dream into reality we must become financially strong, technologically forward and corrupt free country. India is a developing country and yes it has more percentage of youth than any other country, definitely, Olympics will raise the youth interest towards games But before all this India must become capable, as hosting such an event is a big responsibility. A country must have good infrastructure for this as well.

After few years when India will be developed then only we can look forward towards hosting Olympics.

Dreaming about it, working towards it, changing it into reality and then successfully organising it will be a great achievement for the country.

Thank You.

INDIA can obviously and easily host the Olympics because of huge amount of money our government have and even we have some big names like TATA, Reliance etc who can easily sponsor the event and yes there is a home advantage and our players can bring more medals, tourism will increase which is great economically and stadiums will be useful for further use and etc. But apart from all this first of all we need to think of corruption in our country and even if there is no corruption and scams, our country is a developing country and there are many areas we need to focus on which work is to be done or money should be spent like if we talk of sports money should be spent on promotion of every kind of sport (not only cricket) and clubs should be built in each and every city or village, so that anyone can think of pursuing career in sports, then there is education, agriculture, research etc. So I think now is not a better time to host the Olympic but may be after 15 years or so.
