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.

We should aim for min 100 medals in the coming Olympics. We have to work backwards for this to achieve. 1. Improve facilities/coach/selection process/athletes for the games which we are sure of getting medals - Boxing/wrestling/archery/shooting/disc etc. 2. Get international trainers for GYMNASTICS/SWIMMING/CYCLING/ATHLETICS ETC. Provide state of the art facilities for athletes and better/quality food, rigorous training, and above all support these games from School level.

example. If we want to make a good cricket team. All participants from district level should face bowling of 50 balls, catching of 50 balls, fielding of 50 balls, similarly bowlers should be able to get out maximum people in limited overs. The most successful bowlers should go to state level and then central level. These children under age of 15 should be admitted in a cricket Academy with a possibility of entering the Indian team or they will be given a job in a govt. or private organizations.

India can truly be a sports super power provided a wholesome changes are brought forward involving all stakeholders. A comprehensive sports policy need to be finalised but policy document should be prepared involving all stakeholders. Isolated attempts and plans won't take India anywhere close to top. At present there is lot of focus at the top in the area of high performance with a short term approach but without focus at grassroots level attracting mass participation nothing going to change.

we need to have sports school specially for children intrestd in sports so from childhood they can be trained n transformed into a finest player. This sports school can be designed in way that it has hugr playing grounds, well equipped with playing equipments, good trainers. In this kind of school studying should be given second preference with sports on top priority. Such sports school in every state of India can help the children allover to get a chance to play for India.

Sport is an ability of individual, like Education Sport too is an integral part part of everyone's life. We have our basic system of education which fully depends on Academics, which doesn't even consider Sport as basic need. Sportsmanship could be developed by formulating plans to identify the hidden talents of individuals right from childhood. Do we have 1 Saina, 1 Abhinav, 1 Mary, 1 Sushil, 1 Vijay to get medal among 121 million? Certainly not. Its time to restructure Educational System.

In cities there are no place for childern to play, forget about doing any formal sports activity like football, hockey which require big ground. I would request govt should take over any empty plots that are held by owner and just waiting for appriciation of price. And use them for creating Play grounds.

It must be compulsory for school n college to have play grounds. The students who have real interest and those who play really awesome must trained for excellence. Those college and schools who should dont have ground must not be given permission for its working. The players from the ruler areas must given special attention, as they can pull their power to the end. They help to earn more n more medals for country.

First of all sports shold be compulsary in school and colleges.The winner of each school (In any sports) should get a special training till he/she became a master.Each city should have sports center.From schools if chidren want 2 achieve something they send their children to sport center.It is the responsibility of sports center to take care of sportsperson (their needs,facility and all others things).those who send maximum number of sports person will get awards.so i feel this ll help

India can't become a superpower unless and until we are only concentrating on Cricket alone. India is playing cricket world cup & respected PM motivates each & every player separately while India trying to qualify for much more competitive and tough sport i.e FIFA 2018 qualifiers goes unnoticed. So this attitude has to be changed. Moreover all sporting Federations (cricket need not apply) should be headed by veterans in that sport as honourable leaders can indulge them in some other things
