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.

Sports superpower generally means getting more medals. And more than half of the medals are only in (a) athletics and (b) water sports. Thus, we should focus more and more on track & field events and all kinds of swimming, diving etc. Secondly, sporting events at state/district level should be taken as a celebration, in order to attract youngsters. Thirdly, sports like wrestling, boxing, weightlifting & kabaddi are India's core competence and the same should be taken up more seriously.

Sports should be kept apart from politics. It should be professionally managed by people who have worked hard in sports. Identifying and nurturing young talent should start from school level. Gymnastics can be introduced in schools. To ensure that all schools have proper ground and minimum sports equipment. Physical Education should also be included in grades in schools. Every day one hour should be dedicated to sports upto 10th std in schools. This would also ensure a healthy India.

Sports needs an environment that will motivate young people to join and leverage their talent. When the basic necessities such as food, home, etc is not available to a huge population, they are not even thinking about sports. If we exclude this population, only a percentage of the population is open to sports. Again, middle class people may not be so encouraged to join sports unless huge talent in a child has been found. So, in order to improve in sports overall quality of life should improved.

India can become sports when the youth are motivated in a positive way and have the government backing in terms of facilities, training and constant performance monitoring. A country of 1.5 billion can have many Saina Nehwal and Sachin Tendulkar. We need to tap the youth who are willing to take up the sports in a serious manner. The thinking of parents at large needs to be changed that sports is also a form of career. If the government projects itself in the right manner then this is easy.
