On 26-4-15 in his speech Maan Ki baat Respected PM Mr Narendra Damodardas Modi emphasized on MAYLA MATHE PE DHONA (carrying dirt on head). The phrase was headline in each and every NEWS of the day. Is He really concern about this and made provisions of reservation in LOK SABHA, RAJYA SABHA, STATE VIDHAN SABHA, MILITARY etc etc etc ...... Such reservations are in place in other aspects of life. Respected PM Mr NARENDRA DAMODARDAS MODI SIR do you have explanation or just a speech.

Sports Federations should be kept away from political clout. Is my govt. ready to do this? Ensure that no politician is involved in sports' federations and that only experts run the show. Involve ex-athletes, veterans and stalwarts of sports. Get quality coaches, improve infrastructure at ground level.

Dear Sir, Answer to your question lies in the question itself. Autonomy - Financial as well as Administrative. Remove dependence of sports associations on Govt Funding. Let them earn their bread & butter, only than they will focus on nurturing talent and good governance. Just note how BCCI became richest sports board in the world. Another way is to link pay of officials with medals in international sports events. Monetary competition will ensure survival of fittest and ensure Acche Din in Sport

Mr Prime Minister... Whatever recently happened in the SAI hostel in Kerala really reflects about the real picture of dilapidated state our sports bodies are in. The conditions these athletes live in and the facilities with respect to the equipment, coaches , food etc are really pathetic and need special attention from PMO, only then I believe we as a country to reckon with in competitive sports. Till date all the sports person excepts in cricket, have got laurels basis their own effort
