DEVELOPING SPORTS IN INDIA – VISION 2020 PRESENTATION BY RISHI NARAIN
VISION 2020 FOR DEVELOPING INDIAN SPORTS • A– LOCAL SPORTS CLUBS IN EVERY COLONY • B – ITS NOT JUST CRICKET • C – ACCOUNTABLE SPORTS FEDERATIONS • D – INTER SCHOOL & COLLEGE SPORTS ASSOCIATION
FOR INDIA TO SUCCEED IN GLOBAL COMPETITION BASE OF ACTIVE YOUTH HAS TO GROW 100 FOLD INDIA NEEDS LOCAL SPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE THIS INCLUDES PHYSICAL FACILITIES COACHING COMPETITION
THE SOLUTION IS COMMUNITY SPORTS CLUBS URBAN PLANNERS SHOULD INCLUDE COMMUNITY SPORTS CLUBS – 2 TO 5 ACRES IN EACH COLONY FACILITIES COULD INCLUDE 2000 SQ FT GYM 25 M SWIMMING POOL 4 TENNIS COURTS & 6 TABLE TENNIS HALL 2000 SQ FT HALL FOR YOGA / GYMNASTICS / AEROBIC STUDIO / DANCE 500 M RUNNING AND JOGGING TRACK / OTHER SPORTS DEPENDING ON SPACE AVAILABLE 50 M X 50 M SOCCER / HOCKEY FIELD
EACH CLUB CAN BE COMMERCIALLY SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT REQUIRED – RS 4 - 5 CRORES (NOT COUNTING LAND COST) REVENUES: FAMILY MEMBERSHIPS – 1000 FAMILIES AT RS 1 OR 2 LACS EACH IS Rs 10 – 20 crore ANNUAL DUES – RS 1000 / MONTH PER FAMILY OR RS 1 CRORE P.A.
ITS NOT JUST CRICKET CRICKET HANDICAPS OUR NATION IN SPORTS CRICKET IS A SPORT LIMITED TO ONLY 8 – 10 COUNTRIES WHO CAN PRODUCE COMPETITIVE TEAMS SO INDIA REGULARLY FEATURES IN THE TOP 10 IN “WORLD” CRICKET INDIAN CRICKETERS REGULARLY CREATE “WORLD” RECORDS WORLD CUP CRICKET IS LIKE COMMONWEALTH GAMES COMPARED TO SOCCER WORLD CUP WHICH IS LIKE THE OLYMPIC GAMES ITS RELATIVELY EASY TO BECOME A “WORLD” CLASS CRICKETER THAN A WORLD CLASS ATHLETE IN OTHER MORE COMPETITIVE DISCIPLINES
IN FACT CRICKET IS ONE OF THE LEAST COMPETITIVE SPORTS GLOBALLY SOCCER – 25,000 PROFESSIONAL TEAMS AROUND THE WORLD GOLF & TENNIS – 150 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD COMPETE FOR BILLIONS IN PRIZE MONEY INDIAN PUBLIC THINKS OUR CRICKETERS ARE WORLD CLASS UNLESS CRICKET IS RECOGNIZED FOR WHAT IT IS INDIA’S REAL “WORLD” CLASS SPORTSMEN WILL NOT GET THEIR DUE
ITS NOT JUST CRICKET THIS DISTORTED VIEW DISCOURAGES YOUNGSTERS FROM PURSUING INTERNATIONAL LEVELS IN OTHER DISCIPLINES THE DISTORTED MEDIA COVERAGE AND ADULATION PREVENTS REAL WORLD CLASS SPORTSPERSONS FROM GETTING TRUE RECOGNITION AND COMMERCIAL REWARDS YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN TO THE INDIAN CRICKET STARS IF CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, TAIWAN, USA, GERMANY, EASTERN EUROPE AND LATIN AMERICA BEGAN COMPETING
HOW ? MEDIA MUST BE EDUCATED ON THE HUGE DISPARITIES BETWEEN COMPETITION LEVELS IN CRICKET AND OTHER SPORTS LIKE SOCCER, ATHLETICS, GOLF , TENNIS, BASKETBALL AND OTHERS JEEV MILKHA SINGH’S #40 RANKING IN WORLD GOLF MUST GET GREATER RECOGNITION AS IT RIVALS #1 BATSMAN RANKING IN “WORLD” CRICKET MANY OTHER SPORTING FEATS DESERVE MUCH MORE PUBLIC RECOGNITION AND REWARD
ITS NOT JUST CRICKET THE CORPORATE WORLD MUST BE ENCOURAGED TO USE ENDORSEMENT OF TRUE WORLD CLASS SPORTSPERSONS MEDIA SHOULD FOCUS ON NON CRICKET SPORTS STARS ONCE THESE STARS ARE PUBLICLY RECOGNISED – THEY WILL GET THEIR DUE REWARDS
SO VISION 2020 OF INDIAN SPORTS WILL SEE A MORE BALANCED VIEW OF SPORTS LESS PUBLIC INFATUATION WITH CRICKET AND MORE RECOGNITION FOR TRUE GLOBAL STARS
ACCOUNTABLE SPORTS FEDERATIONS CURRENT STRUCTURE OF SPORTS FEDERATIONS IS KILLING DEVELOPMENT FEDERATION BOSSES INSTALL STATE ASSOCIATION BOSSES IN ORDER TO GET RE ELECTED EVENTS AND TEAM SELECTIONS ARE EXCHANGED FOR VOTES THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY MOST FEDERATION HEADS HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE FOR OVER 20 YEARS
CHANGE REQUIRED MANDATORY LIMIT OF 2-3 YEARS FOR FEDERATION CHAIRPERSONS BOARDS OF MANAGEMENT TO CONSIST OF INTERNATIONAL STARS IN EACH DISCIPLINE THE BOARD APPOINTS A CEO WITH CLEARLY DEFINED POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES PROFESSIONAL CEO’S MANAGE THE NBA, NFL, MLS, ATP, PGA TOURS ETC IN AMERICA EACH CEO TO APPOINT MARKETING AND OPERATIONS MANAGERS FEDERATIONS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO PUBLIC LIKE PRIVATE ORGANISATIONS
INTER SCHOOL & COLLEGE SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIPS CURRENT THERE IS NO SERIOUS COLLEGE SPORT THAT THE PUBLIC FOLLOWS SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES CAN BE THE DRIVERS OF COMPETITIVE SPORT MODEL OF THE NCAA – NATIONAL COLLEGE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IN USA SCHOLARSHIPS AND RECOGNITION FOR AHTLETES ON COLLEGE TEAMS NATIONALLY TELEVISED AND PUBLICISED COMPETITION WILL CREATE INCENTIVE SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PRIDE TO WIN COMPETITIONS WILL DRIVE DEVELOPMENT
TO SUMMARISE VISION 2020 FOR DEVELOPING INDIAN SPORTS A – LOCAL SPORTS CLUBS IN EVERY COLONY B – TRUE RECOGNITION FOR SPORT OTHER THAN CRICKET C – ACCOUNTABLE SPORTS FEDERATIONS D – INTER SCHOOL & COLLEGE SPORTS COMPETITIONS
