THE FUTURE OF SPORTS IN INDIA

Sport is friendship, Sport is health, Sport is education, Sport is life, and Sports bring the world together

India is a country of over a billion people. Imagine the talent, capabilities, and potential we have in our store. Surprisingly, even after being a storehouse of human resources, only about 2% of our masses participate in sports regularly. Is it the lack of opportunities, or does the interest of the Indian society lack interest in sports? Or has it something to do with the affordability and availability of proper guidance to aspiring sportspersons? Through this blog, we will try to answer these questions by understanding the scope of the different forms of sports in India and gauging what the future holds for the sporting industry in India.

Sports Industry

India is a storehouse of talent, especially in the field of sports. But this talent hasn’t been explored and given its due limelight. It could be so because of a lack of motivation and the support of political leaders and, most significantly, the recognition by the public.

In ancient India, sports were given due importance by both parents and teachers. People back then understood that indulging in sports was essential for a child's physical and mental well-being. Activities like martial arts, archery, swordsmanship, lifting weights etc., were very respected. During those times, students were asked to engage in friendly spars as well. The evidence of the active sportsmanship in India can also be found in the epics of Mahabharata and Ramayana.

But in the last few decades, parents have stopped giving much importance to physical well-being and are concerned only about their children's academic excellence. In case they do take any interest, then the child’s fascination must be towards Cricket.

This bias of parents is one of the major reasons which thwarted the growth of this much deserving industry. Furthermore, the ignorance of the sports authorities also played a part in the depletion of the popularity of other forms of sport in India. But in the last 3 to 5 years, this trend has seen a shift.

The Indian sports scene is taking a keen interest in all kinds of sports, resulting in the growth of participation, viewership and sports-related industries. India’s improving economic climate, rising disposable incomes, and changing outlook fuel the increase in demand for sports-related goods and services.

The famous Indian Premier League, estimated at $5.3 billion, along with other leagues, are also contributing their shares, which has helped the Indian sports Industry touch the $2.7 billion mark from $1.3 billion five years ago. Several entrepreneurs have made fantastic models like "Sportz Village Schools" (formerly known as EduSports) that enable schools to adopt sports education and play the role of a helping hand in carving out new faces to be introduced to the world competition.

Promising future

India is an emerging market for sports. The industry has experienced rapid growth across all segments in the last few years. There are millions of sports enthusiasts in India and this number is set to spiral with the increasing viewership of these sports on television.

The Indian government has made significant investments in athletic facilities and training, which will pump out more athletes and sportspersons in times to come.

The booming sports industry has increased employment opportunities as well. It has also given hope to young people who dream of competing internationally someday.

The Indian government foretells a meteoric rise on the world stage with more champion athletes emerging from the Khelo India system. It focuses on modernising sports infrastructure at the grassroots level while providing scientific training to young athletes, all with the help of technology.
