India has been such a country where sports has always been encouraged but not enough. There have been several discussions and debates on the talent hidden in Indian men and women and those that represent the country in National and International sports events. India stands at a very low position overall in regard to sports.
India is a developing nation even in the sports arena. We have to develop further to make it one of the top sporting nations of the world. India must surpass the hurdles of corruption, scams and other social evils to get world-class sporting facilities and excellent sports coaching for training the to-be champions.
We must use every penny allotted by the government for the sake of sports development. Sound sporting spirit flows in the blood of every young Indian and often we take inspiration from legends like Sachin, Kapil Dev, Abhinav Bindra and Saina Nehwal. This not only enhances our country’s sporting field but also enables youth to pursue their passion with more encouragement. We must salute the champions for their ability to influence such huge masses of young people. It would be a shame if more people do not choose sports as their career/ goal. We must encourage students in schools not only to keep keen concentration in studying but also in building their physical strength.
This naturally comes by playing a variety of sports to which, school children have a lot of exposure to. We need longer durations of sports periods/games periods in schools so as to refresh the young minds from the stress from the abundance of coaching classes for IITs and other competitive exams during their school days. Please let them have a future and make children physically and mentally sound. They’ll be grateful to the school management and also the country for giving them opportunities to excel in all ways during a tender age.
