In the recently concluded Rio Olympics 2016, India sent its largest ever Olympic contingent comprising of 118 athletes. Despite the large number of athletes, the Indian contingent managed to bag only 2 medals in the Games viz., one Silver medal in Badminton and one Bronze medal in Wrestling. Considering the size of our country it can be said that the present performance was not up to the country’s potential. Views/suggestions are invited on what specific steps need to be taken to realise full sporting potential of India in forthcoming Olympics in 2020, 2024 and 2028.

With special privilege of greater number of population in our country it is obvious we can put a challenge to the world that within the next few years of Olympics games our Nation will show its strength in participating in most of the events.For this all schools and colleges must take up sports in a serious note and instructions from government side should be clear to instructors who are in government pay role ; good incentive to be given who will show prospect.

In my personal view, I find that the main stream sports (except cricket) are sidelined by the respective sports authorities. This causes lots of discouragement among players or athletes. Sports should become an important part regular educational curricular. We should encourage more sports personalities not just for Railway or govt jobs, but purely from sports point of view. A National level revamped Sports commission should be set up to monitor these activities.

हर गाँव मे स्टेडियम व सभी सुविधांए उपलब्ध करने मे समय लगेगा लेकिन हर जिलेस्तर पर ये संभव है। 6 महीने में एक बार ब्लॉक स्तर पे सभी प्रमुख खेलो की एक प्रतियोगिता हो जिसमें दो या तीन स्तर पर ( उम्र के अनुसार) टीमे हो। सभी स्कूलों को भाग लेने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करें। अच्छे बच्चो व उनके अध्यापको को सम्मानित किया जाए (आर्थिक रूप से भी) और जैसे जैसे कोई बच्चा खेलते हुए ऊपर जिला/स्टेट/नेशनल लेवल तक जाये उसका पढ़ाई (खेल कोटे के अंक मिले) और आर्थिक बोझ सरकार वहन करे। पूरी प्रक्रिया केंद्र सरकार के अधीन हो
