સુકી ધરતી, ખારા આંસુ: ગજેન્દ્રની દિલ્હીમાં આત્મહત્યા કરી આજે ખેડૂત તો આત્મહત્યા કરી રહ્યા છે. જ્યારે સરકાર ખેડૂત માટે મોટી મોટી વાતો કરે છે. મોટી મોટી જાહેરત બહાર પાડે છે. સરકાર જે જાહેરત કરવા માટે જે પૈસા બગાડે છે તે પૈસા નાના ખેડુત માટે આપે તો ૨૫ થી ૩૦ ટકા ખેડુત આત્મહત્યા ના કરે. પૈસા નો યોગ્ય ઉપયોગ થાય

I Think its a need of time for social security of a sportsman. After getting retired from the work, sportsman get a low level job like security officer etc which do not justify their hardwork for the nation. We should secure their future so that they can show their real talent without worrying for the future.

why cant the sports associations be managed by retired sports persons? why politicians are running sports associations? why only cricket is given importance with little or no recognition to large number of indigenous sports? both pensions and welfare fund is good, but it should be for all sports, particularly indigenous and the selection should be transparent. after declaration of international yoga day, why government is not thinking about organising Yoga Olympics? these issues require answers

हमारें देश के ख़िलाड़ी को पेंशन स्कीम और राष्ट्रीय कल्याण कोष की व्यवस्था हो ताकि ढ़लती उम्र उनको चिंतित ण कर पाए| खेल के क्षेत्र में केंद्र तथा राज्य सरकार एक साथ मिलकर सालाना एक पैकज प्रस्तुत कर सकते है|जिससे खेल के क्षेत्र में रूचि रखने वाले युवा अपना कैरियर बनाने में काफी कड़ी मेहनत करेंगे, और अपना ज्यादा समय देश का नाम खेल के क्षेत्र में आगे करने में बिताएंगे|

Dear Sir, We are happy to select you as the Prime Minister of India. But the Problems of youngsters are still the same. There are no job opportunities for freshers. I am a Chemical Engineer and looking for a job as a Process/Design Engineer. I request you to please look into the matter of employment for freshers.

Design and market sports goods such as T-Shirts and caps for every sports team with great captions and sell those via popular online stores. Give tax waiver so that these are more affordable and more people buy these.Forward the profits to a high return government bond and re-invest. This will also improve the awareness of sports in India as more people walk on streets with these T-shirts.
