2 SPORTS DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA 1. INTRODUCTION Sports and Games have always been perceived as an integral component in the allround development of personality. Apart from being a means of entertainment and physical fitness, sports have always played a greater role in generating spirit of healthy competition and bonding among us. Today, sports emerge as an important component of socioeconomic development of the country and the Government plays a crucial role in promoting sports. The Government and governmental organizations are responsible in making sports policies, allocating grants for developing infrastructure, nurturing talents and designing specialized programmes for overall development of sports. Today, many types of sports are played across the country. Things apart, regional games have also become a way of life. India first participated at the Summer Olympic Games in 1920, and, since then, has participated in every Summer Olympic Games. India s first achievement in Gold Medal in Olympics dates back to the 1928 Summer Olympic Games, winning Men s Field Hockey. Abhinav Bindra became the first Indian to win an individual Gold Medal at the Olympic Games 1. In recognition of the importance of sports, a separate department was set up in 1982, prior to the commencement of the 9th Asian Games. National Sports Policy 1984 was the first move towards developing an organized and systematic framework for the development and promotion of sports in the country, and the precursor of the present National Sports Policy, NATIONAL SPORTS POLICIES/GUIDELINES/LEGISLATION Government of India also has been, from time to time, taking various steps and initiatives to promote good governance practices in the management of sports at the national level in pursuance of successive National Sports Policies. These policies are based on the Basic Universal Principles of Good Governance of Olympic and Sports movement and do not, in any manner, contradict or interfere with the autonomy of the 1 India, Rajya Sabha, Department Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Human Resource Development. 269 Report on Demands for Grants of Department of Sports (presented on ) 2 India, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Annual Report , p.

Mukul Mudgul, has formulated a draft of the National Sports Development Bill, This has been circulated to the stakeholders for seeking their comments/suggestions.

4 3. OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONING OF DEPARTMENT OF SPORTS / SCHEMES/ PROGRAMMES -3- Sports is a state subject and it is primarily the responsibility of the State Governments to create adequate sports infrastructure within the States. Further, the Central Government complements and supplements efforts of States in this regard. Department of Sports has two primary objectives i.e. broad basing of sports (making sports available to all) and achieving excellence in sports. To realise the first objective i.e. broad basing of sports there are two major schemes running in the Department i.e. Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan and Urban Sports Infrastructure Scheme 8. Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan (RGKA) - The RGKA, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme introduced in in place of erstwhile Panchayat Yuva Krida Aur Khel Abhiyan (PYKKA), aims at achieving the objectives of broad-basing of sports facilities and mass participation in sports by providing basic sports infrastructure and equipment at the Panchayat level and encouraging sports and games in rural areas through annual competitions at the block and district levels. RGKA will help the States in promoting sport at the grassroots level, which they have not been able to achieve on their own so far due to severe resource constraints. It will also deepen and widen the seedbed of sporting talent, leading to better performances by our sportspersons in national and international events. RGKA envisages to be an important foundation of the grand strategy for development of sports facilities; identification and nurturing of sporting talent in the country as against the creation of sports facilities in Village Panchayats and Block Panchayats as per the existing scheme. RGKA will be the building block and foundation for the long term framework to create a sports ecosystem in the Country and also to make sports as a way of life and an industry in the country and to achieve the goal of becoming one of the first 10 sporting nations in the world by The RGKA scheme has been implemented with effect from 01st April In the Budget Estimate , Rs. 95 crores have been 8 Op.cit., 269 Report on Demands for Grants
5 -4- allocated for RGKA. During BE the fund allocation was for Rs. 200 crores, however, during the RE stage it was reduced to Rs.85 crores. In the RGKA scheme, it is proposed to construct a sports complex in each block both for outdoor and indoor sports disciplines on land measuring about six - seven acres at a cost of Rs. 80 lakh each (Total Rs crore). There is also provision of Rs. 15 lakh for sports equipment to be provided by Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. A number of Sports competitions are organized annually under RGKA Scheme, such as - Rural sports competitions at block, district, state and national level; North-East Games at district, state and national level ; and Women championships at district, state and national level 9. Urban Sports Infrastructure Scheme - Urban Sports Infrastructure Scheme, introduced in , envisages development of playfields by the State Governments through Playfield Associations, coach development programme through Central and State Governments, creation of infrastructure including laying of artificial turfs for hockey, football and athletics, and construction of multi- purpose hall. Under the Scheme, State Governments, local civic bodies, schools, colleges, universities and sports control boards are eligible for assistance 10. The Scheme focuses on promoting and supporting a mechanism at national and state level to encourage, assist and preserve community playfields, incentivizing utilization of infrastructure already available in the State at all levels by filling up critical gaps, creating need-based infrastructure and creating capacity building among coaches, including community coaches 11. To achieve the other main objective of the Department, i.e., achieving excellence in sports there are two major areas one is National Sports Federation and other is the Sports Authority of India. National Sports Federations (NSFs): Promotion and development of specific sports disciplines is mainly the responsibility of the concerned National Sports Federations 9 Ibid 10 Ibid 11 Op.cit., 269 Report on Demands for Grants
6 -5- (NSFs). Government supplements the efforts of the NSFs by providing financial assistance to the NSFs under the Scheme of Assistance to NSFs for various activities such as holding coaching camps for national level sportspersons, zonal and national championships for sub-junior, junior and senior categories, organizing International tournaments in India, training and participation of sportspersons/teams in international tournaments abroad, procurement of sports and sports science equipment and consumables, engagement of foreign coaches/experts to train athletes, etc. as per agreed Long Term Development Plans. During the current financial year, an amount of Rs.185 crore has been allocated under this Scheme 12. The Sports Authority of India (SAI) is the field arm of the Department and was set up in 1984 as a registered Society. SAI is engaged in spotting and nurturing talent at all levels by providing the requisite infrastructure and equipment, coaching facilities, scientific back up, nutritious diet, competition and exposure. It is also entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining and utilizing, on behalf of the Department, the five Stadia in Delhi which were constructed/renovated for the IX Asian Games held in New Delhi in There are 9 Regional Centres of SAI, which are located at Bangalore, Gandhinagar, Delhi, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Imphal, Bhopal and Sonepat. In addition, through the Netaji Subhash National Institute of Sports (NIS) Patiala, its academic arm, SAI offers a variety of courses in sports coaching and sports medicine; and graduate and postgraduate courses in physical education are offered at the Lakshmibai National College of Physical Education (LNCPE), Thiruvananthapuram 13.

9 -8- National Sports Development Fund (NSDF):To augment financial resources for sports sector through public as well as private sector, the Government has instituted National Sports Development Fund (NSDF) in 1998 with a view to mobilizing resources from Government as well as non-governmental sources, including the private/corporate sector and non-resident Indians. This Fund has received contributions from Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), Jindal Steel & Power Ltd, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Videocon International Ltd, Powergrid Corporation of India, State Bank of India, Jaypee Sports Internatioinal Limited, etc. In order to encourage corporate entities, both public and private and individuals, for contributing to NSDF, 100% exemption from income tax is available on all contributions to National Sports Development Fund (NSDF). Contributors to NSDF are free to assign the funds for specific purpose. Further, nationally recognized sports, paralympic sports and Olympic sports has been included in Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013, which would allow companies to spend on development of sports from the funds earmarked for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) related activities. Inclusion of sports in this Schedule is expected to give a boost to the promotion and development of sports in the country and the much needed funds from companies, both in public and private sector, are expected to flow into sports sector RECENT MAJOR INITIATIVES Recent initiatives by the Department of Sports are as under: 1. Setting-up of the Manipur Sports University in Manipur. The Department is taking steps to get it established. The site has been identified. The land is likely to be available soon. 2. Second major initiative was the National Sports Talent Search Scheme (NSTSS), which basically deals with identification of sporting talent in the country in the age group of 8-12 years. The scheme has been developed and notified and the initial selections should be taking place in this year. 3. The third initiative is the setting up of national academies in some of our major prominent sports, largely under the aegis of SAI in collaboration with the National Sports Federations. 17 Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No.1359 dated
10 -9-4. The fourth is the development of sports infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir. This basically involves remodeling and renewal of the two major stadia in Srinagar and Jammu and also development of some sports facilities in district headquarters 5. The setting up of Indian Institute of Sports Science and Medicine and the National Institute of Sports Coaching. These two projects are still at the formulation stage and will take some more time for getting established INDIA'S POSITION IN OLYMPICS GAMES, ASIAN GAMES AND COMMONWEALTH GAMES India got 55 th position in Olympic Games 2012 and won 2 Silver and 4 Bronze medals; in Commonwealth Games 2014 India stood at 5 th position with 15 Gold, 30 Silver and 19 Bronze Medals; and in Asian Games 2014 India got 8 th position and won 11 Gold, 10 Silver and 36 Bronze medals.

India beat Sri Lanka to win Cricket World Cup in XVI Asian Games Guangzhou Gold, 17 Silver, 33 Bronze total Commonwealth Games Delhi- 2010, 38 Gold, 27 Silver, 36 Bronze, total Beijing Olympics - 1 Gold, 2 Bronze 6.

Indian won hockey World Cup in Malaysia for the first time in Olympic Bronze Medal, Helsinki The India contingent marches past in the opening of the first Asian Games CONCLUSION Despite varied and concerted efforts, the performance of Indian sports at the International level is not very convincing. A few steps may be taken to make these initiatives more comprehensive, like allocation of funds, as the percentage of budget, should be increased rationally to broad-base sports in the country; sports should be made as an integral part of the education system to inculcate sports culture from the school level; 18 Op.cit., 269 Report on Demands for Grants
11 -10- uniformity should be maintained in sports specific activities of various States of India to provide equal participation opportunity to its citizens; and a structure of good management, control and exercise should be incorporated to make the system transparent and accountable Op.cit., 269 Report on Demands for Grants
