Sir,
Apropos news item ‘Strengthening sports infra my priority’ DE July 30.
If sports sector has not flourished much in this State, it is because there is not much infrastructure in the State. In some districts there are no stadium where payers could practice for games.
Wherever they exists there is no arrangement for coaching and guidance.
If any player has proved his mettle on state or national level it is due to his individual achievements. Organising tournaments at District or State level is nothing but mere wastage of time and money. Sports as a subject should be taken seriously by the sportsman as well as Sports Ministry.
A well defined Sports Policy is the first requirement in this direction.
The Sports Policy itself will take care of other aspects like infrastructure, and coaching of players.
Besides, incorporation of sports into school curriculum will help in inculcating sports culture among students at a young age. Therefore, there should be no delay in taking such a step.
Yours etc…..
