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 education is a must with good training facilities not average ones and without any political interference that is found in every sport.-we do find politics is mixed with sports which is going to endanger sports in the future

Just like if a current doctor does not stdy biology at +2 level,he simply cannot fight the competition for premedical tests, similarly, how can we find gud talent unless we play our children amply? Unless we promote games,how will we find player s n athletes? So lets promote gaming at grassroots level,thereby let talents emerge from villageschools, n then have official s at district level,who are specific ally assigned task to shift all such talents to sporting hubs in Kashmir! Lets play!!

We can create sporting/athletic training hubs on hills of Kashmir. O2 deficient climate on such terrain will lead to acclimatization of athletes by increasing their Rbc n Hb counts,thereby upping their O2 holding capacities, n thus their heightened stamina.

One of the things can be for children not physically challenged to pass a neccesary grade for fitness just as they have a minimum passing percentage for other subjects, this I feel will greatly reduce depression and cholesterol related illnesses. Centres can be created which host tournaments on dd, getting their funding by ads and run by ex Olympic state or national level athletes so children don't feel if they don't make it big in sports they will be old and without career

Create sports schools and university and link corporate to sponsor and also a increased quota to help give a more and more number of students get into sports. In school and college have subjects with major stress on sports, this should help get students up on sports and getting competition between universities will help more people into sports and then channelising will help improve the pipeline to sports and in years make power house of sports

Train the athletes full time. Just not 6 months before Olympics or Asiads. They should be trained continuously between events. Train them in Simple Admin skills like tabulation etc Use them for their admin skills in the sports training centres for various Govt. Tabulation works. Pay them salary for the same. And train them continuously. In this way their man hours are used and they are trained as well at the same training centres.

Dear Sir, It is true that the new forms of entertainment specially TV,mobilles,computer etc have taken over the physical forms of entertainment specially by playing outdoor games like cricket,footballs etc.One of the disappointing trend in developing the public places for park is that the popular outdor games like cricket,footballs are not allowed due to good maintaining of parks & grass.Result is that such parks become only sitting place for senior citizens & ladies.Children above the age group 5 avoid such parks.My contention is to keep in mind the space required for playing physically rather than just the beauty of the par specially in govt developed & society developed parks. My observation is if space is available children gradually come out to play because it is natural & remain healthy & produce sportsman/woman. The talent comes from the ground which can be further nurtured.

Sports and skill-based activities such as music and arts and crafts should be made part of curriculum. They should earn credits like any other subject and not be labelled 'extra curricular'. Taking a cue from competitions like the famous 'Bournvita Quiz Contest', competitions from school level should be organized and culminate in national level, with generous cash prizes.We should concentrate on a few sports that are culturally familiar:eg. water sports,archery,gymnastics,long distance running.

edible oil is imported yearly 85 lacs tons,if 5 coconut trees are planted by every house hold through out the country, we can over this problem and mal nutrition, as coconut got high nutritional values. 2.the land around 30 k.ms surrounding every city is plotted and hand changed to non agriculturists and is kept Barron thus result in increasing vegetable prices,loss of oxyzen, though it is a state subject but laws should be amended in such a way not to kept Barron.
