Future of sports in India is bright provided some facilities being provided to the sportsperson. There are lack of infrastructure, lack of motivation, lack of support from the family and from the government.
Government should provide good facilities to the coaches and to the sportsperson. They should provide funds to them. Sometimes inspire of having talent a person is unable to perform good due to lack of sports kit, proper training, and support. There is not even a single national institution for sports which can motivate students to take sports as a career option.
I think students should be encouraged from the beginning itself about the sports, and the fame associated with it. There should be a sports period every day from the primary school itself. So that every child can play and identify their talent in sports. If the conditions in the sports field is good they can look onto sports as a career option. The poor financial condition is also one of the major cause for not having enough candidates in sports. Whenever anyone chooses sports, he /she thinks twice whether he/she can earn a living through it or not. Sometimes they are the only feeder in their family so they have to give up on their dreams. There is also politics in national sports federation, the whole funds do not reach to them.
So with this, I will like to conclude that it's not like that India doesn't have talents but it doesn't have proper facilities for the persons involving in sports. If facilities can be improved, then surely the future of sports in India is bright and shining.
Thank you.
Have a great day ahead.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my opinion on this topic.
In my opinion, the future of sports in India is very good due to the following reasons:
1) Now govt of India should spend largely on the infrastructure and provide good meals to the sportsperson so that they bring their best towards their game.
2) Government Open various stadiums these days so that the person will do their training there they will not go to other area or city for their training this will help in saving their time.
3) Govt. Appoint many coaches in various fields these days so sportsperson get proper guidance from them.
4) Govt spends so much money on sports these days so if a person joined any sports they have a good future in them.
5) Now many sports events will take place like Khelo India, Khelega India, Tabhi Toh Jeetega India this will encourage many sports person to play and give their best to the game.

Future of sports after 2021 Olympics, seems to grow tempo as "the Uncouth youth" is taking interest in other sports rather than cricket. Medals won by Indian players is a huge revere for India. Players flounder to get these medals. Retrieval of interest towards Hockey (which was ignored from a perennial time) is seen among Indians. There was a time when hockey was the only famous sport in India but because of some reason, hockey was slowly getting away from Indians and the cricket phase came.
One of the main reasons hockey got carried away was: "The grass".
Indian hockey players acclimatized to the natural grass grown in fields but later on, World Hockey Federation decided to change grass from natural to plastic grass (for whatever reasons) which ended as a catastrophe for indians because the price was exorbitant. This accentuates the governnent of India that was not much interested in giving facilities to players but, the odisha government gave their full support to the Indian hockey team and build stadiums with plastic grass which resulted in bronze this year. Youth is becoming fans of medals won by Indian athletes which encourages youth to get one. This is the nascent stage of the future of the sport of India in the Olympics and other international sports championships.
PARENTAL GUIDANCE:
Parents are not supportive when it comes to sending their child in sports. Parents must foster and incubate their children to take interest in sports.
ABOUT THE GOVT:
Frankly speaking Government on sports was reticent when players ask for facilities and other equipment needed for respective sports. But there is a change in the mindset of government now from two to three years government is spending and trying there best to foster sports in India. Talking about facilities by Indian government, there comes Odisha government who is making full efforts for Indian hockey team and also sponsoring Indian hockey team, I don't know from how much exact ttime but they also announced that they will continue sponsoring Indian hockey team for another 10 years
So taking the above point, to be precise the future of sports in India is in good hands.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity.
My opinion about the future of sport in India increasing rapidly, the government providing facilities to the sports person so they can do their best in the game, with my opinion, India is giving opportunities to everyone in sports there are a lot of sports in India.

Hi everybody,
I am here to give my point of view on the given topic that is 'Future of sports in India'. So, according to my opinion, there will be a great future for sports in India in the upcoming years as the government, as well as some NGOs, are taking big initiatives for this. And also somewhat mentality of society is changing towards sport which is good for sports now people are looking as a carrier towards the sports.
But there is another class that exists in Indian society that assumes and tells that there is no future in sports just focus on your academics even if that student is more interested in sports but due to this kind of mentality, the talent of most sportspersons lags behind.
India nowadays participating in every sport everywhere around the world and also winning various medals and trophies too. Also, the government launched the 'Khelo India' initiative by which sports are encouraged in India.
Sports are good for health they keep us physically and mentally fit and also teach us various qualities which are important in life like leadership, decision making, sportsmanship, calmness, gratitude, situation handling, etc. Due to sports, we can keep ourselves balanced in life.
In India, the government is also providing free sports training to rural students and economically backward students too. The government has a sports quota for the sportsperson in government jobs. They also encourage sports in India by giving various awards and fellowship to the students.
For achieving a great future of sports in India government should include sport as a compulsory subject in academics.
Government should focus on the opening of the new training institute and also implement new techniques of training.
They have to start some scholarships on school levels to encourage students for sports.
Thanks a lot!

Hello, everyone, I am Praveen.
I got the opportunity to Share my opinion.
So, in my opinion, sport is really a very essential part of our life it maintains our mental as well as physical fitness.
So the future of the sport in Indian will be bright in upcoming days because nowadays people are aware they know what they have to do they can also make sports as a career. But still, something will be required from govt side like proper infrastructure, training programs, good coaches.
Yes, it is very difficult to convince parents about sports because most of them believe that study is everything those who are playing sports is not good and wasting their times in such stupid things. Mostly it happens in rural areas because people are not aware of sports or many things. So govt should take some initiative to promote sports and encourage youth as well as their parents.

When we talk about sports, India is not up to the mark except cricket. The performance of India in the Olympics is not so good. India also has many talented youths in sports but due to lack of resources, our country is unable to perform. Most of the Indians don't even know the names of other players in hockey, volleyball, boxing, kabaddi etc. Our immense love for cricket is such that we are just ignoring other sports. Our government should have to increase the budget of sports quota and should encourage our youth towards every sport. Countries like the USA, China, Russia are spending a lot in sports hence they are no 1 in every sports. India also have many famous sports personalities like Dutti Chand, Geeta Poghat, Mary Kom, Saikhom Mirabai Chanu (who recently bagged a silver medal in 2021 Olympics) and many more who are proud of India. I hope in the future, India will be no 1 in every sport. Thank you.

Hello everyone.
According to me the condition of sports in India is not up to the mark except cricket. If we talk about the Olympic Games performance of India is not so adorable.
We always struggled for gold medals every time. Most of the Indians don't know the names of Hockey, kabaddi, volleyball players that's the irony of Indians.
Govt. Should do something better for the development of numerous sports.
Indians are also the most talented and hardworking sportspersons, but due to lack of resources, they are not able to show their talent worldwide.
Indian government should increase the budget for sports quota and encourage youth for sports by which they get the opportunity for self-development.
But problem is that we always ignore sports except for cricket, our immense love for cricket is so much that we don't know about different sports.
China USA Russia these countries invest millions of rupees for sports that's why they are always on the top position in sports.
The future of India is very bright and Indians also doing a very fantastic job in every field of sports but with this, we just promote the other games.
A lot of famous sports personalities like Hima das, Babita Phogat, Merycom, etc are proud of India.
I hope and pray to god that one day will come when India will be in top position in every sport of the world.
Thanks!
Jay Hind! Jay Bharat !

In my opinion, future of sports in India is good and become excellent in coming days recently India won many medals in different sports but government has also responsibility to spend more funds in sports and, distribution of funds is equally in all sports so as to develop each sports equally and, younsters have equally chances in all sports for making their future bright in sports.

I don't think the future of sports in India is good because of the following reasons.
1. There is a lack of infrastructure and lack of encouragement for sports in India.
2. Low salaries of sports coaches and staffs in the sports field.
3. Also, due to lack of nutrition in children from the lower class and lower middle class these children are not fit for sports because for sports people should be physically as well me mentally fit.
4. Due to the lack of job opportunity in the sports field in India. If someone failed in sport, he/she has to face struggle to make living in India.
5. Becoming a sports person is expensive for poor and lower middle class because it requires costly sports equipment.
6. Indian education system more focused on studies rather than sports.
To overcome this, parents should encourage their children in sports.
The government should provide good facilities to sportsperson and also encourage them.
