I'm Deep Thakur from Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh.

And I want to put some light on the topic " future of sports in India".

In my own views, sports plays a most important role in our life to be fit physically and mentally also It creates Team leadership, quick answerable, and attractive personality also and so much.

In my opinion, the future of sports in India will be better than today because people, especially parents are being aware and exited in sports but there is so many guardians who does not allow their children to go towards sports because they think that there is no future in sports. So they should change their mentality and should come to support their children. Because they are the best Strength and motivation for them. But this type of people are being aware of and changing their minds.

And our government is also doing so many efforts to improve sports future to launch so many schemes like Khelo India Youth Games, Khelo India University Games.

So, after seeing this all we can say that the future of sports in India will be better than the present.

But in another hand, there are so many demerits of government schemes like the government is launching so many schemes but It is not applying properly. So the government should think about it.

Thank You.

Hello everyone,

There are some issues which need to be addressed:

1) Lack of infrastructure.
2) Lack of Sports schools, especially in rural areas.
3) Lack of sporting culture.
4) Politics in National Sports Federations.
5) Insufficient funds.
6) Lack of incentives to sports persons.
7) Low salaries of Sports Coaches and staff in the sports field.
8) Becoming a sports person is expensive for poor and lower middle class because it requires costly sports equipment and years of dedicated hard work.
9) In India, employment opportunities in the sports field are very much less, when compared globally.
10) Lack of concurred sports culture in India.
11) Lack of quality equipment, and no proper coaches.

The present situation of sports is definitely better than before with the introduction of leagues for neglected sports. But, there is a need to develop India as a multi-sports nation. This can be done through talent search programs, thereby finding talents in especially rural areas as there is no exposure to even the talented, finding unrecognized sports disciplines, creating awareness about different sports, providing opportunities, organizing games and events to nurture it. Multiple sports must be concentrated and worked upon instead of the selective few ones.

TODAY WE HAVE GIVEN TOPIC "FUTURE OF SPORTS IN INDIA".

(a) BY INCLUDING IT IN CURRICULUM.

Sports and Physical education is an integral part of a person's overall well -being and is imperative for a healthy mind and body balance. Many school and educational institutes lay ample emphasis on including sports as a necessary part of education.

A movement on Sports Education may begin for fitness and also aid the "Khelo India Programme' launched by the Ministry of Sports in India. An inclusion in the form of scholarships to players, financial aid to stimulate institutions and around the week engagement with the sports complexes is the need of the hour.

(b) Government should increases budget on the sport.

Sports minister Mr Kiren Rijiju is the current Minister of Sports,

Sport in India refers to the large variety of games played in India such as cricket, badminton and football. So government take further steps to enhance the sports in all ways and enhance skills of players or find them useful in proper way the future of sports depends on government if the government do all the required things and encourage everyone one who is interested in sports to increase their level and work on good facilities to sportsperson and also encourage them.

THANK YOU.

As we are here to discuss such a crucial topic, in my opinion, we should first look into the obstacles that the Indian sports is currently facing. Though India has achieved a big success in sports, the no of athletes who have achieved this success is too less. Why is so? Don't our country have enough sports enthusiastic students? Or there are some other reasons? If we look into our educational system, what we can see is there's no specific institute in India for sports enthusiastic youths. Many of the sports enthusiastic students in India don't follow their passion because of lack of funding, lack of proper infrastructure and lack of other facilities. Though we have sports quota in govt job, the seats are very limited. If we can establish a proper centralised institute for sports and proper scholarship system for the students, many of the sports enthusiastic students will turn up, and they will think to take sports as their career. Cricket is already getting much helps. Through the infrastructural facilities, we can encourage other sports as well. And in this way, I hope India can get more Mary Kom, more syna who will be representing India in an international platform and will glorify our nation. And there will be a great future for Indian sports.

The future of sports in India depends upon the youth and the upcoming generation. India is a diversified country and people of the different region took interests in different things. India should create a bright future if the proper training schools, Infrastructure provided in a better manner. We all know Hard work is the key to success but for that hard work, we need those facilities also because without a proper facility one cannot develop their skills. So India can really perform well and go ahead from where it is now and can really create a bright future in sports. If every school give proper interest for sports from the primary classes and they include it as a part of the study so it really gives a good impact on our country that whom of the students are interested in sports and they will work in the sports from primary classes and can really lighten the name of our country. But one thing I want to say that our country belongs to a major rural population so apart from the urban population if we put efforts to develop those rural areas. They will take part in everything and really make a bright future in sports.

Sports has got a bright future in India. Players like Saina Nehwal, Mary Kom, Sakshi Malik, Sania Mirza, Leander Peas, MS Dhoni had proved the strength of India at International events. New players like PV Sindhu, Shrikant Kidambi, Mirabai Chanu represented India on important platforms, Young players like Manu Bhaker, Prithvi Shaw are future of India. So India has a long way to go in sports.

Definitely, our history in sports events is not so memorable but now we came a great way ahead, still, we need improvement. All we need is good infrastructure in sports academies, experienced coaches, experienced selection teams, a qualified nutritionist to decide diet plan for players.

Apart from this awareness among people for sports as a career option is also needed, for this sport should get a place in mainstream subjects during 10+2 classes also government need to modify their policy of sports so the future of a sportsperson is not ruined and he /she gets a job for sustaining his/her life with passion. Because many bright players leave their sport due to the lake of finance after a time.

First of all, we have to discuss our Indian sports culture because I strongly believe that the future depends upon the culture if it is accepted. To this end, we will start with the 2024 Paris Olympics, which will take place from 26 July to 11 August.

In this as we Indians we have a lot of dissatisfaction again but here I want to tell is the performance of young labs for India for the first time on the big stage, The total Medal tally for India is 7 in this Olympics it is not so good for the future we will discuss how India treated the players with an example the first medal contributor Manu Bhakar she won two medals in the Air Pistol in two different categories 10m, 50m huddle in this one is her individual and one in mixed 50m Air pistol for this she becomes the first girl winning two Olympic medals in single Olympic.

She is well-known in the whole country here the Indian culture she got 24 individual medals at national and international gold medals competitions but there is no one knew how she was a player at a high level. There is no such type of support for the young ladies.

Hi everyone,

This is Shubham Kumar.

Today we discuss the future of the sport in India. In my point of view, sports play a vital role in every person for both physically and mentally. In developing countries like India everyone must interest in sport because in India we don't follow the proper diet but when our interest in the sport we take a proper diet and our life is also disciplined and well manner. In India, generally, Indian parents don't want his children to go in sports because they think there is no future in sports but the reality is not this. Every parent first work to knows his children interest if they want to study. Then they inspired also for sports because sports give mentally as well as physically fit. And if their children want to go to sports they should inspire us because not every child is good in study. Every child has a different thinking.

Future of sport is in the hand of government and youth of our nation. Most of the youngster are busy in finding jobs or don't want to hard work to compete with other countries, we have to follow their trends.

In my opinion, sports and games are the most important activities of life. One can develop different types of talent through sports. These sports help the body to become developed and healthy. That student who is weak in the study but they are well in sports, can secure their future and they can get more achievement in life through sports. These sports generate many qualities in children and youths like leadership, face the situation, stamina, courage, mental strongness, friendly behaviour, cooperation, teamwork and decision making etc. These things make a child healthy and physically strong. Due to lack of good management of sports in college school and villages, children's interest in sports is affected. So, the children spend their time in virtual games that harm them a lot. We should increase awareness about the importance of sports and games in our life. In my opinion golden future in sports, India can lead to a developing country, because when the youths will get achievement in sports, country automatically will prosperous and develop.

There is a bright future for sport in India. It is rising more than the past sport culture in our country and it will rise. People are participating in various international events like the Olympics and gave their remarkable performance. The government is also promoting sports in India. They have a Sardar enclave for prompting all sports in India. A sportsperson can come and play on this ground. Delhi government is also planning to built sports schools in India which gives opportunities to students to build their careers. It also provides scholarships to the person and government jobs for the people. So overall sports is enhancing day by day in our country. But there are also some areas where there is also need of improvement government should increase funding for sports. There should be less political interference of people in sports department so to give opportunity to talented people. There is also a need for the promotion of various sports in India. By doing this there is a bright future for sports in India.
