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.

Govt. should send out press releases on sportspersons performing well in international/ world tournaments at any level - junior, cadet, school, college, seniors etc. regardless of whether they bag the medals, even if they come fourth or fifth or improve upon their personal best, - if PIB releases a press release then mainstream media will pick it up and disseminate to the large audience. Otherwise they will not bother. It is important to give motivation to our sportspersons.

1) Marks should be given for playing sports at school and college levels - otherwise why will students slog and why should parents be bothered to send their students to sports activities. It should also be monitored to ensure that parents do not just procure a certificate for getting that marks. 2) procedures for import of sports equipment should be streamlined to ensure that sportspersons do not end up running from pillar to post to secure clearances.

1) revive the school & collegiate sports by infusing professional management into it. We need a pool of 1 million active sportspersons in order to even think of an olympic medal. 2) scout for talent from rural areas, villages, tribal hamlets, children of construction workers, nomadic workers etc. 3) Enforce the sports governance code - it should be rid of politicians at all levels and there should be no conflict of interest between coaches who double up as selectors/ officials etc.

1) throw out politicians from sports federations and invite professionals/ ex-sports players to run the federations in a transparent manner. 2) allow ex olympians to open up academies for which govt. to provide reasonable support in terms of land etc. 3) give incentive for private leagues in all sports so that more and more players take part. 4) allow FDI in sports management, sports infrastructure, private leagues etc. 5) expand the scope of CSR activities in sports

1. Enforce sports code. 2. Increase the sports budget. In comparison to other countries, India's sports budget remains miniscule. 3. Proper monitoring of funds so that it reaches the athletes. 4. Proper guidance from national sports federations to state federations instead of petty politics to cling on to the seat.

ओलंपिक मे निराशाजनक परिणाम देखने को मिला इसका कारण हमार खिलाड़ी नही है, हॉ वह प्रदर्शन के जरूर जिम्मेदार है लेकिन जो असली कारण है वह यह कि हमे खिलाड़ियों के प्रशिक्षण पर ध्यान देना होगा जैसे हम पदक जितने के बाद उनका हौसला बुलंद करते है, धनो कि वर्षा करते है वैसे हमको पहले ही इनके कमजोरियों पर ध्यान देना चाहिए।

Last few years has seen the performance of the NSFs be heavily scrutinized; surprisingly the role of the state sporting stakeholders remains neglected.The attached paper argues for the adoption of good governance practices by the state stakeholders (State Olympic Association, State Sporting Council, State Sporting Federation and SAI) and argues for the need to establish a coordination agency to promote an integrated approach.

Start work from ground zero. Improve the level of infrastructure for sports at college and school level. Give sports facility to villages and rural areas. Dont give MONEY for equipments and other facilities. Instead of this give equipment and direct facilities by the govt to the required one. As i studied in sliet (centre funded institute). Where we cannot play in SAC(student activity centre) from 8.30 am to 4.00 pm. As these indoor games eg.TT should be available for whole the day.
