  • Games and Sports : a Gateway of Women's Empowerment in India
    Games And Sports : A Gateway Of Women’s Empowerment In India Dr. Krishnendu Pradhan ABSTRACT “Sport has huge potential to empower women and girls” - Remarks by Lakshmi Puri; UN Assistant Secretary-General and UN Women Deputy Executive Director. The purpose of this paper attempts to shed light the status of women’s empowerment in India through games and sports and highlights the issues and challenges of women empowerment in the field of physical education and sports. Sport is an integral part of the culture of almost every nation. However, its use to promote gender equity and empower girls and women is often overlooked because sport is not universally perceived as a suitable or desirable pursuit for girls and women. Today the empowerment of women in games and sports has become one of the most important concerns of 21st century. But practically women empowerment in games and sports is still an illusion of reality. It is observe in our day to day life how women become victimized by various social evils. Women empowerment is the vital instrument to expand women’s ability to have resources and to make strategic life choices. Empowerment of women in games and sports is essentially the process of upliftment of economic, social and political status of women, the traditionally underprivileged ones, in the society. Today sports and physical activity as a strategy for the empowerment of girls and women has been gaining recognition worldwide. Women could be empowered through education, sports and physical activities and by giving them equal opportunities in different walks of life. Research on sport, gender, and development indicates that sport can benefit girls and women by: Enhancing health and well-being, fostering self-esteem and empowerment, facilitating social inclusion and integration, challenging gender norms and providing opportunities for leadership and achievement.

  • Effect of Idian Political System on Indian Sports
    EFFECT OF IDIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM ON INDIAN SPORTS Raminder Kaur1 Gurpreet Kaur2 1Asstant Professor, Baba Fraid College Bathinda.(Punjab) India 2Asstant Professor, Baba Fraid College Bathinda.(Punjab) India ABSTRACT In 1978, UNESCO described sport and physical education as a “fundamental right for all”. But until today, the right to play and sport has too often been ignored or disrespected. Sport has a unique power to attract, mobilize and inspire. By its very nature, sport is about participation. It is about inclusion and citizenship. One of the drawbacks of industrial revolution is the sedentary lifestyle we have adapted which is directly linked to primary and secondary diseases, such as heart problems, high cholesterol, mental stress, high blood pressure and on top of all that is the environmental pollution, which is currently one of the risk factors of global magnitude. Sport leisure and recreation have become important dimensions in social and economic life. Social amenities such as the gymnasiums, fitness centers, play fields, social halls and swimming pools generate revenue for self-sustainability and therefore contribute to national development on two fronts. Research shows that investment into sport in developing countries is much less than in developed countries, as sport development is usually not a top priority in the national budget or in the education system of most developing countries. One may wonder that government of India pumping several crore rupees into the various sports bodies for promoting sports and encouraging the sportsmen but these sports bodies have become fertile ground for the politicians and ex-bureaucrats to make money. Key words: Fundamental Right, Political Interference & Indian Sports.

Commonwealth Games displayed the latent Sporty Spirits of the country, when people who could get hold of the tickets turned out in large numbers to cheer for the sports. It certainly augurs well for the business opportunity for Sports in India.

  • TALENT SCOUTING and TRAINING – ROLE of GOVERNMENT and PRIVATE SECTOR in INDIA Dr
    International Journal of Law, Education, Social and Sports Studies (IJLESS) A Peer Reviewed (Refereed) International Research Journal Homepage:www.ijless.kypublications.com Vol. 2. Supplementary issue 3.2015 (October) Category: Indian Govt & Society’s Attitude TALENT SCOUTING AND TRAINING – ROLE OF GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECTOR IN INDIA Dr. B. VIJAYA KUMAR1, Dr. G. A. PREETHAM PRAKASH2 J.PRABHAKARA RAO 1Lecturer, Department of Mathematics, A.C. College, Guntur 2Lecturer, Department of Physical Education, A. C. College, Guntur Lecturer in Physical Education, A.C. College, Guntur Mobile: 09440961795 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A big, developing country such as India requires a strong talent scouting and training system for tapping and honing potential sporting talent. The Government and private sector have taken several initiatives, but a country with a 1.28 billion-strong people is yet to produce a significant number of medal winners. This highlights the need for casting a wider net of talent scouting and providing quality training in order to identify and train more achievers. In this paper we discussed the role of Government and Private Sector in India in talent scouting and training. Overview of initiatives in talent scouting and training Role of governing bodies: While the central and state Governments organise competitions at different levels where talent scouts from respective organisations search for sporting talent, SAI is responsible for talent spotting at the micro level. It has instituted several schemes for sports promotion and building the next generation of achievers. Features of SAI Schemes: For age group 8 to 25 years it instituted several schemes - National Sports Talent Contest (NSTC), Army Boys Sports Company (ABSC), SAI Training Centres (STC), Special Area Games (SAG), extension centres of STC/SAG and Centre of Excellence (COX).

    IJHDIS: Vol. 8, No. 1 (January-June 2015) pp. 113-128 ISSN : 0974-3529 PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND BUSINESS OF SPORTS IN INDIA A. K. Singh* and R. V. Reddy** Abstract: Physical education, g ames and sports are gaining importance now a day’s, however, these received only peripheral attention over successive Plans. India hosted the IX Asian Games in 1982 and thus sports as a subject of policy gained recognition. The preparation for and conduct of the Asian Games created the much needed awareness about the multidimensional character of sports and the need for evolving a holistic Sports Policy and creating institutions for its implementation. Thereafter a number of steps were taken in this direction. These included the creation of a separate Department of Sports under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, which was later expanded into a Department of Youth Affairs & Sports in 1985, and upgraded to a full-fledged Ministry in 2000. In 1984, the Sports Authority of India was created as an autonomous registered society under the Department of Sports. Steps were also initiated for developing a comprehensive National Sports Policy. This led to the adoption of the National Sports Policy, 1984 .Government of India also introduced National Sports Policy, 2001.The Policy also emphasized the need for making sports and physical education an integral part of the curriculum of educational institutions. Present paper purports to examine the status of physical education and sports goods in India and suggests the policy measures for developing sports eco system. INTRODUCTION Physical education, games and sports are gaining importance now a day’s, however, these received only peripheral attention over successive Plans.
