The parents of such child should get counselling session from the teacher concerned explaining and encouraging them to make their ward a sports person and take it up as a career other than academics. Besides school, in every district there should be a 'District Sports Centre' where proper infrastructure, training and facilities for all sports including track and field events, swimming, archery, gymnastics, badminton, lawn tennis, boxing etc. may be provided.

but also theoretical classes highlighting the importance of sports in daily life and also the rules of each game. In India, today, a child hardly knows the rules of any game other than cricket. Sports as a part of school curriculum should be a mandatory part of all government schools of state and central government. If a child performs exceptionally well in any particular sport, he should be encouraged to take it up as a career and provided with all facilities.

To change this dismal scenario, a multi-pronged approach is required. To begin with, a good sports person is one who is trained from childhood. Interest in sports and sporting activities should therefore, be developed from school days. School curriculum should encourage developing a keen interest in all sports. This should not only include physical activity by way of participation in all sports like badminton, table tennis, swimming, gymnastics, hockey football etc,

This imbalance reflects in all parameters of sports development, from sports infrastructure and facilities to sports education, budget and coverage via media. While the apex body in cricket, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has surplus resources and money, most other sports bodies are cash strapped and suffer from a resource crunch.

India has always been a cricket crazy nation and this has been reflected in the performance of the country in international sporting events. Though the performance in other sports at international events like Olympics, Asian and Commonwealth Games has been reasonably good during the past few years, it has not been enough to make a lasting impression. The root cause of this problem lies in the imbalance in the development of various sporting activities in India.

Sir the inter school sports competitions should be planned at the starting of the session by authorities and schools should be informed about the schedule in April itself so that schools can prepare their students better. Also sir the sports tournaments should be conducted throughout the year. Currently we get only 1 sports tournament that is RGKA that too only in December which is too less and too late

Sir the block level Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan should be taken more seriously. The RGKA tournament should be made a prestige issue for schools by awarding best school award to the school who wins the max medals in the tournament. Also more awareness should be spread about RGKA. also sir the organisation standards for RGKA are very poor if RGKA will be better organised with good facilities for participating students then definitely it will attract more participants

Sir in villages proper coaching staff are not there. If a qualified coach (retired sports persons can also contribute a lot) can come every Sunday for 3 hours 6 am to 9 am then definitely we can identify huge talent pool from villages

A special cell should be created by govt. which primary focus on those children who have capability but unable to participate due to financial problem, There is lots of talent which we saw in train i think lots of Gymnastic player we find in Indian Railway.

This is a suggestion for identifying talent in sports. As proper conceptualization of a problem preconceives the solution, amongst others, a key problem lies in non-identification of talent. As such, parallel bodies should mandatorily be set-up at Block level, which are elected only by the youth between 15-25 years. These bodies should identify and nominate talented but otherwise poor youth for sporting activities; they should be allowed access to better infrastructure & later be tested.
