SPORTS AND ITS POOR STATE IN INDIA

Government of India (sports authority of India) has opened many institutions, facilities and programmes to promote sports in India. List of sports practiced in India is very long almost all the games and sports of the world are played here, there are coaching facilities, coaches and training is done. Required infrastructure is there. 

            But why is India one of the countries who won very few Olympic medals despite a population exceeding a billion? Around half of them fit to play all types of games. Numerous explanations have been offered for the DEARTH of sports in India.  Poverty, malnutrition, neglected infrastructure, the lack of sponsorship, the miss use of money and equipment, political corruption and political neglect, social causes, institutional disorganization, social immobility, the predominance of cricket and other cultural factors.

           According to statistics (although not authentic ones), India is the country in the world with the lowest number of total medals won. There is media news about hockey both male and female and Mr. Abhinav Bindra, Who are these bosses of sports, who are careless or insensitive towards players, will these news not discourage other sports persons; weightlifting has disgraced us by dope test failure cases. Some of the persons demanding proper coaches and modern facilities, rifles were sold for profit, what is happening?

Thanks to some of the papers and state govt. who have come forward to help the players. Some concrete majors and tough decisions have to be taken to improve the STATE OF SPORTS.
