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.

How much fund is given to Indian cricket player as compared to kabbadi player it's show that only cricket is popular game and other game is going to down people have less attention towards other so we have to active our all game instead of only cricket.

The first step to do, to settle the sports in India is, to change the mentality of Parents towards the Sports.
Many parents in India don't believe that there is any career in sports especially Lower and middle-class parents.
For that, we have to change their wrong assumptions into strong beliefs about sports. When we successfully do it, that time is very near that India will top the medallists.
Starting step of this plan is Parents meeting at school levels. As there is a discussion about study there must separate session of sports to discuss. Not only in metro cities but also in rural areas.
As we know about today's lifestyle this is must take action about it. To build the children and our nation.
Since God gifted are very rear persons. We must believe in the hard work of each department related to us.

In my point of view, to nourishing sports in India govt must make effort from grass root levels. Sports should be encouraged as a separate subject in school and youth should be provided all opportunities and required infrastructure. The children should be encouraged in the early age so that they can opted for there career in future. Govt must provide basis infrastructure for sports even in villages. The govt is doing in this direction by encouraging youth through Khelo India and fit India movement.
Parent should be also motivated because many parents didn't consider sports as career and they pressure on children to do well in study rather than sports.
School also plays a big role in constructing future sports. To encourage school govt to ensure provisional of best sports gadget facilities and coaches in school. School to be appreciated with awards which produces sportsmen at national level.

I am very glad to start the discussion today. The topic we have given is interesting. So the future of sport in India is bright because our prime minister, Nando Modi, supports all sports in India. He started the Khelo India scheme for all sports; generally, in India, only sports are famous, i.e., cricket, which is why other sports players are not famous.
Our sports are definitely going to be better if politics is not part of sports because we have seen recently that an Olympic medalist player is facing sexual harassment issues, and I do not know if they are speaking the truth or not, but I am pretty sure that if politics is not part of sports, it will be good for all sports.

Hello everyone.
I think Indian sports have a great future as you can see Hima Das and other athletics and sportsperson giving their best for country. And very well said "hardworking pays".
And also government Helps sportsperson by giving incentives and government Jobs sometimes it may take time because of procedural difficulties. But sportspersons have a great future.

Hello, friends, I am NITIN GEJWAL.
So today, our topic is the future of sports in India. I think it is a very interesting topic. As we all know friends sports play an important role in our life. It makes us healthy physically as well as mentally and it creates a sense of discipline and teamwork. But if I talk about the current scenario sports of India is not so good because India has facing many difficulties since past time. First of them is malnutrition because most of the children in India suffers from malnutrition due to malnutrition the growth of the children cannot be a right way thus the children become physically and mantally weak. And the second thing is the lack of equipment, especially in rural areas. Because there is a critical problem to provide all equipment to this huge population. And the other thing is our government don't give good salary to coaches. If I talk about parents then most of the parents don't support their children. They think that there is no future in the sport and also think that future only in the study. So if the parents change this mindset and support their children then definitely their children make their future in sports. And in the end I would like to say that future of sports totally depends on our government if the government do all things which the sportsman require and encourage our youths then sports of India definitely good in future. Thank you all.

Future of sport in India is bright?
I must say India is a country with a billion people and yet our contribution in sports is very less. India doesn't lack in talent, it doesn't lack in hard work but lacks in support. Support from family support from the government.
Many talented players quit the sport and start working somewhere to help themselves their family because they find their problems and greater than their dreams.
No support no facility from the government makes them even more easy to quit on their dreams.
But apart from cricket, very fewer games are there were India had achieved much.
But now the position and stand for sports is charging people are coming out with determination and will. The government also started many schemes and programs to help sportsman. Many sportspeople in numerous fields had achieved miles.
If I start quoting them here list will not end.
So, in my opinion, Sports have a great future ahead for such an amazing country "INDIA".
