India has been making steady progress in the field of sports, but it has potential to do much more. If right steps are taken towards development of sports culture, integration of sports and education, early spotting of talent, strong support to sportspersons through top-class coaching, competition exposures, sports science and sports medicine support, etc., India can emerge as a sports super power.

Views are invited on what specific steps need to be taken.

Every school should have competition for one or two sports, on monthly basis, for various age groups. Outstanding children should be short listed and trained. Parents should encourage. They will do so, only if there is a scope or a reserved job

Every town should have a competition for age group of 10-12 years for running, long jump, high jump etc. Children who are short listed and should be sent to higher level. Within an year, we should be to identify a minimum 5000 children across India. A national level meet for the up-coming should be conducted, to select 50 children. They should be given free education, training, hostel stay etc. They also should be assured of job depending on their performance, at the young age itself

Meritocracy and Commercialization. Only these 2 are necessary. Rest all is already there (talent, hardworking coach, interest, etc.) Meritocracy will ensure sportsperson emerge from every corner of country and not only from privileged families in metros. Commercialization will ensure talented sportsperson don't give up on sports fearing lack of money to support their families. If convinced, contact me for more details.

Access to adequate sports facilities in terms of ground and a trainer is the fore most requirement government should concentrate first. Later it should concentrate on the quality of facilities and the quality of trainers.

Sir I want to share my opinion. Cricket makes people weak. Its waste our time and money that's the reason developed countries not planning it. So we have to start playing football and follow swami ji. Swami says that a person will be near to heaven though football than through study of gita.

The interest of Indians should be created in every sports and games instead of cricket only. There should be no political interference in this field. More and more sports complex should be made.

Sir, For us to become sports super-power, we need to state of art infrastructure. I lived in Singapore for three years, this tiny island nation gives highest importance to sports. I was surprised to find state of art sporting stadiums in every GRC (locality). The government charges nominal fees for using the facility. Potential talent is identified at earliest stage and are funded by Govt. We need to have special reward scheme for Coaches who identify future stars.

To realize this dream we have to go beyond the realm of cricket (which is certainly not my religion). there should be ample amount of exposure, resources, opportunities made available for other sports as well. Awareness as well as interests in those sports have to be inculcated in the teeming millions so that none of the road is left less travelled. This would not only generate employment but will foster the Nation along with its citizens helping in establishing India's predominancy in sports.
