Is There A Lack Of Opportunity In The Field Of Sports?

New Delhi, Jan 24: Indians have great potential in sports, but it is hampered by lack of opportunities, Union minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said today.

Rathore, who is Minister of State (Independent Charge) Youth Affairs and Sports, made the remarks while speaking at the Republic Day celebration at the Patiala House Courts premises here.  He urged people to take up sports.

"Indians have great potential but it does not come up most of the time because of lack of opportunities. Power of positivity is great and we all should take oath to do best in whatever field we are in," he said.

Rathore said that sports ministry's initiative 'Khelo India' was not just about playing but its real purpose was to make better doctors, engineers and lawyers etc.

The ministry's ambitious programme aims to scout for talent at the grassroots and provide it substantial long-term scholarship.

He also highlighted the importance of the sports.

"Sport fields are not just for fun. Its a misconception. Sport teaches the most valuable things of life. We all should keep ourselves fit mentally as well as physically," he said.

Yes! There is. Because there are many hidden talents in our country that don''t get an opportunity to exhibit their talents due to different factors , let it be financial or any other. If given an opportunity, these are even capable of representing our country at international levels.

Sanika Sawarkar NARAYANA VIDYALAYAM NAGPUR

Yes I agree with the statement that in India there are less opportunities presented to show the talents in the field of sports I think sports should be become a compulsory think or subject by the school or the respective education Association through this act we will be able to show the hidden talents and the shy the students have will be feded off . This can be a great move if taken by the government

‘Sports’ is a profession which needs to have some more opportunities in hand as opportunities are as important as the practice is! India is most famous for cricket, but should also gain some importance in other sports too. India has some multitalented citizens which need this opportunity. That’s also a great opportunity for the young talents to express themselves in their most favorable sport. I would like to thank Rajyavardhan sir for looking upon this matter.

Tanaya Choudhary NEERI Modern School

Yes....We do lack in sports opportunities! I think the people from a richer or a middle class background don''t lack so much as compared to people of poorer status. There is a lot of hidden talent in our country as we support all the games. And giving respect to all the sports, India has also won a lot of international tournaments! But the poorer yet talented people are provided with less opportunities...For that we need to solve the political, financial as well as social problems.

Pratyusha Satish Rao NATIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL

Sports potential in India is very high. In every nook and corner of India, we can find a sports talent. But not many are recognized on a national or state level platform due to financial crisis,ambition of sports not being famous in the vision of parents,lack of opportunities for training as well as no national or state level recognition for a wide variety of sports apart from few.

Sandeep raj WORD & DEED HIGH SCHOOL

yes there is lack of opportunity in the field of sports in our country but unfortunately they remain hidden because of this lack of opportunity in our country. the main reason behind this is no organized system and so much corruption

Rahul Khurana RA GEETA CO ED SCHOOL

Yes there is lack of opportunity because the one who is willing to do something for the country, family they are not able to do because of lack opportunity. There should be more academys for shaping the player in right way nd after every month there should be tournament.
