SHRI K. BHABANANDA SINGH: Sir, if India has to reach at higher levels in the field of sports and if we have to win laurels in the Olympics andbring international medals, this Bill is very much needed. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, at the outset, I would like to thank our Prime Minister and the NDA Government who has been kind enough to gift this University to Manipur. ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: Nothing is going on record. ...(Interruptions)...

SHRI K. BHABANANDA SINGH: Sir, the Prime Minister, as we know, has a special love for the people of North East and he has been kind enough to have given this Bill to the people of North East. ...(Interruptions)... As the hon. Prime Minister often quotes Vastushastra and says that North East is a very important ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: Nothing is going on record here and outside.

SHRI K. BHABANANDA SINGH: It occupies a very important place in the Vastushastra, which India believe in. ...(Interruptions)... He often says that India can develop fully only when the North East is developed. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the State of Manipur is a power house with a population of less than 30 lakh. ...(Interruptions)...

Sir, one of the Members of Parliament, Shrimati Mary Kom, who is here, is a live example. ...(Interruptions)... She is a Member of Parliament.

SHRI K. BHABANANDA SINGH: Sir, this Bill will not only help the youth in Manipur but also the entire North East Region. ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: The discussion on the National Sports University Bill is already on. ...(Interruptions)...

SHRI K. BHABANANDA SINGH: There were some initial hiccups in getting the land but with the intervention of the hon. Minister of State of Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Shri Vijay Goel, who was then the Minister of Sports, it became possible to acquire the land where the University is going to be presently set up. ...(Interruptions)... 664 Government [RAJYA SABHA] Bills

[Shri K. Bhabananda Singh] Sir, this human body is the most sophisticated machine. ...(Interruptions)... Sports is nothing but management of this body to excel...... (Interruptions)... It is management of body, mind, air, water, space and the food. ...(Interruptions)... When we have the correct combination of all these things, we can excel in any field. ...(Interruptions)... We have scriptures and epics of our creators excelling in human endurance. ...(Interruptions)... We have the story of Hanuman flying and lifting mountains. ...(Interruptions)... We have the story of Lord Shiva Shambhu, the Mahadeva, the Adiyogi, sitting in the sub-zero temperature of the Himalayas ...(Interruptions)...

So, Sir, we have ample examples of our ancestors passing that human endurance ...(Interruptions)... But suddenly we have lost all that and suddenly we have been unable to win medals in the international events. ...(Interruptions)... Sports has become very specialised today and we have terminologies like sports science, sports medicine, sports technology, which will all come under this University. ...(Interruptions)... Sports is not an individual event, Sir. You represent either a country or a State or a club. ...(Interruptions)... So, a lot of prestige is involved in sports these days. ...(Interruptions)... So, to bring all these under one umbrella, this University is very much needed. ...(Interruptions)... At the end, Sir, I have a strong feeling that this University will bring many laurels for our country ..(Interruptions).. and the products of this University will win innumerable medals and awards for us. ...(Interruptions)... We are marching towards a new India. This is an example of transformation of India which our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, sees. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, I wholeheartedly support this Bill and once again, I request all the Members to support it. Thank you.

SHRI A.K. SELVARAJ (Tamil Nadu): Respected Chairman, Sir, I thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to speak on a subject concerning youth of our nation. ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: Nothing is going on record, including the mentions. ...(Interruptions)...

SHRI A. K. SELVARAJ: The legislation empowers the University to establish outlying campuses throughout the country and also outside India. ...(Interruptions)... How does the Government plan to take maximum advantage of such outlying campuses outside the country? ...(Interruptions)... I demand that such Universities should come up across the country so that we can really achieve what we intend to do in the field of sports. ...(Interruptions)... One such University should be established in the State of Tamil Nadu so that the entire southern region can benefit out of it. ...(Interruptions)...

Sir, the Tamil Nadu Government, under the dynamic leadership of our former Chief Minister, Dr. Puratchi Thalaivi Amma, brought out a sports policy in 2016 to produce Olympic medallists in 2020. ...(Interruptions)... During the time of our former Chief Minister, Dr. Puratchi Thalaivi Amma, a sailing academy as well as the Tamil Nadu Physical Education and Sports University in Vandalur near Chennai, which provides for world class sport facilities, had been set up. ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: Please, please. ...(Interruptions)... Even the children are going away after seeing these scenes. ...(Interruptions)... The children who have come to see Parliament are also going away. ...(Interruptions)... 666 Government [RAJYA SABHA] Bills

4.00 p.m. SHRI A.K. SELVARAJ: It has been a long-pending demand to include sports as part of a comprehensive education curriculum and sports education should be made compulsory so that our children can take interest in sports. ...(Interruptions)... I also urge to expand the National Sports Development Fund to provide financial assistance to sports persons. Our former chief Minister, Dr. Puratchi Thalaivi Amma, during her time, gave an award of rupees two crore for Mariyappan Thangavelu for winning at the Rio Paralympic Games. ...(Interruptions)... Today, the sports persons are facing economic difficulties to carry on their sports activities. The stipends now provided to sports persons are too low and there is a need to enhance the same. ...(Interruptions)... I am happy to note that in order to make the University a world class institution, the Government has signed agreements with two Australian Universities. ...(Interruptions)... We should also sign bilateral agreements with leading sports nations such as the United States of America, Russia, China, etc., to gain in the field of sports. ...(Interruptions)... Our sports budget is merely ` 2,000 crore. ...(Interruptions)... We should allocate a good percentage of money in sports to make India a good sporting nation. ...(Interruptions)...

As far as our sports policy is concerned, there is a need to announce a new sports policy as the existing policy was announced in 2001. ...(Interruptions)...

Sir, with this, I conclude my speech. ...(Interruptions)... On behalf of the AIADMK Party and on my own behalf, I support the Bill. ...(Interruptions)... Thank you, Sir.

Government [9 August, 2018] Bills 667

महोदय, जो हमारे खेल हℂ, आज उनकी दुित्तशा हो रही है और उसका कारण यही है कि हमारे पास अच्छ कोच नहĂ हℂ, जिसके कारण हमारे खिलाड़यⴂ को अच्छ मागत्तिशत्तन नहĂ मिल पाता है। इसलिए अगर अच्छ कोच तैयार हⴂगे, तो निश椿त 셂प से हमारे खिलाड़यⴂ को अच्छ मागत्तिशत्तन मिलेगा और वे अच्छ तरह से खेलᴂगे। ...(व्वधान)...

महोदय, खिलाड़यⴂ को सम्मन मिलना चाहिए और उन्ᴂ नौकरी की गारंटी मिलनी चाहिए। अगर वे डि嵍र प्राप् करते हℂ, तो उन्ᴂ नौकरी की गारंटी मिलनी चाहिए। आज पढने वाले को नौकरी मिलती है, अगर वे खेलᴂगे, तो उन्ᴂ नौकरी नहĂ मिलेगी, इसलिए इस विश्वि饍यलय से डि嵍र प्राप्त करने वालⴂ को नौकरी की गारंटी होनीचाहिए। अतः उन्ᴂ नौकरी, इज्जत और सम्मन मिलना चाहिए। ...(व्वधान)...

Last but not the least, Khelo India has brought another great opportunity for our young talented sportsmen and future generations to become champions. ...(Interruptions)... I also want to thank our sports Minister, hon. Rathoreji, for taking great initiative for promoting sports in the highest manner. ...(Interruptions)...

SHRI MD. NADIMUL HAQUE (West Bengal): Respected Chairman, Sir, thank you for allowing me to speak on this Bill which seeks to establish and incorporate a National Sports University in the State of Manipur. ...(Interruptions)... The significance of sports and fitness in one's life is priceless. ...(Interruptions)... A healthy sports culture leads to an equally healthy society. ...(Interruptions)...

Sir, sports is a very important and valuable field for the development of a nation as a whole which perhaps till now has not been given the importance it owed. ...(Interruptions)... "यहा ं पत्र की इमारत उग आई कैसे, ि‍जस जगह खेल का मैदान हुअा करता था।" ...(व्वधान)... †

Sir, the National Sports University will aim to fill the void in the sports environment of the country. ...(Interruptions)... However, Sir, the Bill raises a few questions and concerns. ...(Interruptions)... I should specifically mention Clause 7, Sir. It is pertinent that the University should have autonomy over its functioning and the matters relating to it. ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: Please do not obstruct the staff. ...(Interruptions)... This is not the way. ...(Interruptions)...

SHRI MD. NADIMUL HAQUE: Thus, the Department of Sports should ensure that this provision be in line with other Central Universities and should not hamper the autonomy of the university. ...(Interruptions)...

† Transliteration in Urdu script. 670 Government [RAJYA SABHA] Bills

[Shri Md. Nadimul Haque] Sir, secondly, Clause 30 of the Bill provides that there shall be a university fund for contributions, grants, loans, gifts, etc. ...(Interruptions)... This provides for receipt of ‘amounts received in any other manner from any other source.’ ...(Interruptions)... These will cover any contribution, which have not been specifically mentioned in other sub clauses. ...(Interruptions)...

Sir, going into the merits and demerits of the Bill, I have a few suggestions. ...(Interruptions)... First of all, the NSU should collaborate with premier national institutions like the IITs and IIMs and other such institutions. ...(Interruptions)...

Since the University would be targeting students, sportspersons, faculty and experts, not only from the country but also from abroad and it is situated in the North-East, I would request the Government that suitable measures be taken by the Ministry and the concerned agencies with regard to travel facilities over there and concessions which can be made. ...(Interruptions)...

Then, Sir, my next point is that the components of the Khelo India Scheme is identifying talent and it is helpful in the talent development. ...(Interruptions)... The NSU could be of immense assistance to the Ministry in prescribing procedures and standards for talent identification. ...(Interruptions)...

Furthermore, the University should be able to generate its own resources to meet or supplement its requirements. ...(Interruptions)... In addition to the provisions made in the Bill under Clause 30, other resources like reaching out to corporate sources under CSR should be allowed. ...(Interruptions)...

The outlying campuses could be established in specific regions in the country which are hubs for specific sports. ...(Interruptions)... Take for example, Haryana is famous for wrestling. ...(Interruptions)... Punjab is famous for hockey. So, in these regions, outlying campuses could be established. ...(Interruptions)...

The University should also provide online education for persons who are living in the rest of the country. ...(Interruptions)...

In conclusion, Sir, the University should provide a boost to sporting activities in the country and also improve the country’s sports performance at the national and international levels and assist in talent identification. ...(Interruptions)... The proposed University has also considerable employment generation opportunity. ...(Interruptions)... This Bill is certainly a step forward in bringing the nation together to make India a sporting power. ...(Interruptions)...

With this, Sir, I commend the Bill to the House and support it. Thank you, Sir. Government [9 August, 2018] Bills 671

With this concept of institutes, they thought of outlying campuses in Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and other States. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, these States are already covered by some institutes. I request the hon. Minister to please consider a centre at Hyderabad. ...(Interruptions)... It is because Hyderabad hosted the Afro-Asian Games successfully. ...(Interruptions)... Hyderabad is having all the facilities to conduct such an event. Even, our Telangana Government has also sent a proposal for one Telangana Sports University at Hyderabad. ...(Interruptions)... I request the hon. Sports

Minister and the Minister for Education also to please try to consider and sanction a university for the State of Telangana. ...(Interruptions)...

My another request to the Sports Minister is to consider sanctioning one sports school in every block, in every mandal and in every district headquarters and to Government [9 August, 2018] Bills 675 construct sports hostels for the welfare of the students. ...(Interruptions)... I request the Government to please consider having one sports university in every State. ...(Interruptions)... I request the hon. Sports Minister to please try to sanction some more SAI centres in southern States. ...(Interruptions)... Now, all the State headquarters should have, at least, one SAI centre in respective games. ...(Interruptions)... With these few words, I take this opportunity to support this Bill and this Bill should be passed unanimously. Thank you.

MR. CHAIRMAN: Now, Shri Elamaram Kareem; not present. ...(Interruptions)... Shri Ritabrata Banerjee. ...(Interruptions)...

SHRI RITABRATA BANERJEE (West Bengal): Sir, I thank you for the opportunity to speak on the National Sports University Bill, 2018. I welcome the Bill but introducing it as an Ordinance is somewhat not understandable. ...(Interruptions)... The university was announced way back in 2014, and the Government had ample time to bring this up. ...(Interruptions)... Countries way smaller than ours, way poorer than ours, have managed to get in the medal tallies multiple times in different international forums. ...(Interruptions)... But looking at the dismal state of food, nutrition, infrastructure, and training facilities of players in our country, we need to invest more. ...(Interruptions)... The Government needs to invest more. The budgetary allocations have been about ` 2,000 crores, a fraction of those of our international counterparts, particularly, of the People's Republic of China. ...(Interruptions)... Out of this, there has been a negligible grant to the States. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, though the National Sports University is a welcome step, low budget allocations will hold back any talent from prospering it to full potential. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, Kabaddi, Hockey, Football have gained some leverage in the public through well-conceptualised and well-sponsored events. ...(Interruptions)... Such initiatives are required for a large number of indigenous sports. ...(Interruptions)... The Government thus must look into the current inefficient systems as well, alongside setting upof new establishments. ...(Interruptions)... Even in the National Sports University, there should be special courses and start-up incubators to take the sports across the nation. ...(Interruptions)... The institutes should be able to develop the entrepreneurial spirits in its players, as done by many top tier institutes in our country. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, I want to make two suggestions to the hon. Minister. Sir, I have two specific suggestions. ...(Interruptions)... I would like the Government to move ahead with promoting sports as an essential element of our culture. ...(Interruptions)... The World Health Organisation reports that over five crore people in India are suffering from depression and one mitigative measure is to promote sports activities in schools and colleges. ...(Interruptions)... Many students in India have been reported 676 Government [RAJYA SABHA] Bills

[Shri Ritabrata Banerjee] to be under extreme stress from their academics and careers, and sports can be a definite therapeutic way of pulling them out. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, as I come from Bengal, Kolkata which happens to be the Mecca of Indian football and, recently, we have seen how our Under-17 team has performed there. ...(Interruptions)... It has beaten Argentina. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, I have one specific request to the Government. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the Mohun Bagan club was established in 1889. ...(Interruptions)... Then, there is a century-old club i.e., Mohammedan Sporting, and then, the East Bengal, which is in its 99th year. The ground they are using belongs to the Defence Ministry. ...(Interruptions)... These clubs have created their own academies where young people are being trained. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, I would request the Government to set up a National Football Academy or National Football Sports University in Kolkata itself so that Football can be promoted. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the Government should look into the matter so that these grounds can be given to the football clubs and the clubs like Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting can have these grounds for themselves and they can own the ground. Thank you, Sir. ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: Now, Shri Rajaram. ...(Interruptions)... Do you want to speak? ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: Now, Shri V. Vijayasai Reddy. ...(Interruptions)...

SHRI V. VIJAYASAI REDDY (Andhra Pradesh): Sir, I rise to support this Bill with the following suggestions. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, I have five suggestions to make to the hon. Minister. ...(Interruptions)... The first suggestion is regarding lower investment in sports. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the current sports facilities are inadequate to tap and utilise the potential of our country's youth. ...(Interruptions)... The investment in sports and games has been considerably low and it is even lower when seen on per capita basis. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the second suggestion is, effectiveness of the university. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the university is a welcome step for the development of sports infrastructure, trainees, coaches, etc. ...(Interruptions)... But the actual results would depend upon the performance, transparency and when operations, management and decision-making process is free from any corruption or wrongful activity. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the third point is, need for regional integration. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, there is a need for more sports colleges and campuses across India to provide opportunity to all the areas and prevent disparity in access and opportunity. ...(Interruptions)... I would recommend Government [9 August, 2018] Bills 677 that there should be more sports campuses in each zone for holistic development in future. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the last point is about the fate of the existing sports universities. ...(Interruptions)... What would happen to the existing sports universities and schools such as Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education, Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports, etc? ...(Interruptions)... Would they be merged with the proposed National Sports University or would they continue in their present form? ...(Interruptions)... Sir, I support this Bill with the following observations. Thank you, Sir. ...(Interruptions)...

MR. CHAIRMAN: Nothing is going on record. Why are you wasting your energy? Please go to your seats. ...(Interruptions)... 678 Government [RAJYA SABHA] Bills

SHRI HARSHVARDHAN SINGH DUNGARPUR (Rajasthan): Mr. Chairman, Sir, the National Sports University Bill is an excellent one and has brought a great joy to the hearts of sportsmen like yourself and myself. For the first time, Sir, in the history of India, we have a Sports Minister who is an Olympian, and that too a Silver Medalist, and amongst us we have Shrimati Mary Kom, who is a Rajya Sabha Member, who is still competing in international events and winning medals even now! ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the National Sports University Bill will promote sports, sports sciences, sports technology, sports management, sports coaching and training talents to help them at least go to international sports events. ...(Interruptions)... But, Sir, the key phrase is ‘catch them young’. The trouble is that, Sir, in India, we don’t catch them young. So, if we catch them young, we can really train and make them into very talented sportspersons. The role of the Central Government will be very important in monitoring this Sports University, especially in finance. The Sports University will be managed by the Executive Council but the Central Government will have to monitor it. We have to be open to corporate-sponsors because this university will need sponsorship. ...(Interruptions)...

Sir, sports has never been more accessible to the general population. Thanks to dedicated sports television channels, for individuals who love sports do want to savour a piece of this lucrative pie of masters in sports management; it is an excellent way to enter into the sports industry. ...(Interruptions)...

Sir, the opportunity for students to gain valuable experience in real world setting would be what this university will be offering. ...(Interruptions)...

Sir, the class size is an important factor when it comes to overall quality of education. I hope, you will keep that in mind. Unfortunately, in Asia, we really lag behind in the world as far as Sports Universities are concerned. Amongst the top 100 Sports Universities in the world, Asia has got only 13. There are some of the top universities like Loughborough in the U.K. and University of Queensland in Australia, and University of Birmingham in the U.K. Ours is the first University. ...(Interruptions)... In Japan, there are three top universities amongst the fifty. ...(Interruptions)... Australia has ten per cent of the top universities. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, we should try roping retired sportspersons for coaching and mentoring. ...(Interruptions)... So, that is also very important because they will also get lucrative remunerations because some of the retired sportspersons don’t have enough income. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, in different areas there are people who are talented in different sports. For example, in Manipur and other parts of North East, we have sports like boxing, football, etc. ...(Interruptions)... In Rajasthan, we have Government [9 August, 2018] Bills 679 produced a lot of shooters like Rajyavardhan Singhji Rathore, who is our Minister here. ...(Interruptions)... It should be made easier to import weapons. ...(Interruptions)... Sir, the keyword is ‘catch them young’. ...(Interruptions)... Sports create harmony in the country. ...(Interruptions)... It will help citizens in their mental and physical development. ...(Interruptions)... Sports is a matrix where persons from all creed, colour, religion, socio-economic status have a level playing field. ...(Interruptions)... It is a melting pot and growing example of national integration, Sir. ...(Interruptions).. Participation in sports makes the nation fitter and reduces the burden of morbidity and mortality in the population. ...(Interruptions)... Fitter nation is better in performance in all parameters. Sir, with this, I support the Bill. Thank you.
