All of the focus seems to be on cricket, but there are other games which are being totally ignored while cricket is getting funding like crazy. Hockey players don't get proper training facilities, nor are they given proper incentives. A sports complex in every state and one national sports complex with all latest facilities should be opened. Sports scholarships should be given to students who perform well in sports.

India is a diverse country. Be it religion, food, dressing, folk culture, language
and what not. But when it comes to sports, this diversity seems to vanish. All of the focus seems to be on cricket. I am not of opinion that cricket should not be supported, it is just that there are other games which are being totally ignored while cricket is getting funding like crazy. Lets start with our national game, hockey. We have had legends like Dhayan Chand and Dhanraj Pillay in our country. We won 8 Olympic golds in this game. But presently, India has almost completely vanished from the face of international hockey. The players dont get proper training facilities, nor are they given proper incentives. Their packages seem nil in comparison to what the cricket players get. This is sad keeping in mind that we still have the potential to be the best. Same is the scenario with other games, while in some it is even worse. Players of international status train in broken down shackles while the cricketers get to stay at five stars wherever they go. Their pay-cheques are always delayed while the cricketers are paid in lakhs per month. Even what they get is barely sufficient to give themselves and their families a basic living standard. It is now high time that something is done about all this. Its sad when a country like ours which has the potential to be the best in every game there is, but isnt able to do so because of pity reasons like these. The solution to all this are pretty simple if you guys put your foot down and work towards achieving this. First step would be to make BCCI a part a subsidiary of the Sports Ministry so that the corruption allegations can be looked into. Surplus funds from this same department can be transferred to other departments so that their condition can be improved. A sports complex in every state and one national sports complex with
all latest facilities should be opened. Sports scholarships should be given to
students who perform well in sports. A system should be implemented under which all district level sportsmen should be transferred to hostels which should be a part of the sports complex present in each state. There, they can be trained and groomed properly and efficiently. Their education should be made free so that parents are not discouraged to let their children chose a career in sports. A revised pay package in accordance to the level they play on (state, national and international) should be implemented and should be similar for all sports. Lastly, to cover the maximum number of people, a district level sports competition should be organised nationwide so that no one is left out. I hope that you take my suggestions seriously and work on the same so that one day our country can also be on the top of the medal tally in Olympics along with excelling in all sports internationally.
JAI HIND!
