Is Silent Olympics part of the scheme where Deserving International players can utilise such privilege?It would be very great to have them included as they donned the colors of India Flag too.They brought Honour & Laurels for India too.

Disabled-Para/Deaf/Blind etc sportsperson should also be respected and treated equally with Normal sportsperson.There are many potential disabled who were deprived of all the privileges such as Job,House,site,Gifts etc and had difficulty in living d life due to lack of funds.so setting up of scheme will help many to live an independent and secure life. They can also guide other disabled for brighter future of India,who can be a FORCE to reckon with

The social security scheme mentioned below must have following points:
1: No One time payments
2: This should not be an LIC scheme
3: Pension should be per month

Government can make hospitals for the beneficiaries of social security scheme where people can get medical facilities after the age of 60 until he/she is alive.

I am bringing this point to the table for discussion. Your team can discuss it and add to it.

We should introduce a social security scheme for all the Indian citizens (be it businessman, serviceman or any other professionals including labor & farmer) for both men and women.
People can deposit in this scheme till the age of 60 and get return only after age of 60 as per their deposit.
This will be very beneficial for Labor class and will help remove the need for begging from the country.
The person should know what pension he will get per month after the age of 60 till he/she is alive.

With regards to the average sports person whose aim is get a government job, the less said the better. The security in govt job is the reason for the lethargy of the several of the employees. Meritoriuos sportspersons make money for themselves and in case they fail to do so based on the medals won at international events the pension should be determined. The tough grind to richness is the necessary evil to achieve greatness.

In a country where every sport/game is not equal, there is a issue of talent nurturing and participation. Even if Sports persons are made heads of organizations, there can be little doubt about the corruption and nepotism. Hence it in the best interests that sports are left to private groups except for providing basic infrastructure. In a country where there is severe cash crunch and investing crores in sports/games is a bit sinful. Great sports persons shine inspite of government.

On 26-4-15 in his speech Maan Ki baat Respected PM Mr Narendra Damodardas Modi emphasized on MAYLA MATHE PE DHONA (carrying dirt on head). The phrase was headline in each and every NEWS of the day. Is He really concern about this and made provisions of reservation in LOK SABHA, RAJYA SABHA, STATE VIDHAN SABHA, MILITARY etc etc etc ...... Such reservations are in place in other aspects of life.
Respected PM Mr NARENDRA DAMODARDAS MODI SIR do you have explanation or just a speech.
