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.

This run be organized in each state depending on season. i.e., where temperature is conducive to long distance running. Events be sponsored for attractive cash awards for jr and sr ( first 100 runners in men and 50 woman) in each category to generate interest and encourage greater participation. This will motivate youth to take up running as a career with ability to earn good money.

Half yearly(twice a year) auditions in every state zone wise for various categories of games and age group should be conducted to identify and screening the unrecognized talents of our country. Also after the successful selection they must be absorbed as national asset for upcoming national and international sports events by giving them financial support and free rigorous training.

Sports Schools from Nursery onwards be started all over the country. Interested parents to get their wards admitted for a particular sport. Sports be the main motto of the school whereas side by side elementary education also be imparted to them. They should be simple examinations for passing out from a particular class. Sports classes(practical and theoretical) be given more stress.This will help in nurturing children from tender age so that they become talented sportspersons in future.

Like cricket, other sports (specially HOCKEY,because it is a national game) should also given a good amount of publicity. Govt can take initiative to call sponsors for the games at least for Doordarshan channels. Along with this, women games should also be equally appreciated. This will help Indian parents to support their children and help them make good careers in different sport areas.

Our country needs to have a institutional mechanism for identifying children with talent / ability to do well in specific sports. These children should be then be given specialised coaching facilities alongwith appropriate academic facilities to develop these children into top level sportsperson in their respective sports. Also, our country needs to develop a sporting culture by having adequate sports infrastructure in various residential areas which have become a concrete jungle.

Like China, Identify few sports and focus on them. Shooting, Wrestling,Badminton,Archery and Boxing are the areas ..where govt.need to spend 80% of the total sports fund. Its the high time govt. should scrap SAI Model. We need to convert the model into the Project. Give Army - Boxing, Atheletics. Let Navy takes care of Swimming. Specific project to identify talent across India and nurture them for 10 years. China followed the same plan. Existing coaches of SAI are useless & Lazy.

We can incorporate tribal children into sports. Given their lifestyle and physical built they are natural for sports like swimming, archery, javelin etc. This will give them a great avenue to become part of the main stream and India can tap this untapped potential. I have seen great swimmers among 'Santhal' adivasi children with great muscular built.
Or we can train roadside acrobats for gymnastics!!!

Regulations for good quality school grounds (many of the institutions don't have school grounds), rating of institution every year - depending on their performance. Yearly competitions inter institutional @ village level/ district level - which are happening, but linking them with commercial part of either near the time of festival for encouragement.
Sports villages - used yearly long - rather on a major event once every few years
We have resources - but using them appropriately

Providing the players with sufficient but basic amenities.Like better scholarships, better hostel facilities and messing.These are the aspects which is making our players biased about the ability of India as a sports super power in the world.
