  • 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.

    Games[edit] Sports[edit] See also: Olympic sports#Current summer program The 2014 Games is scheduled to feature the 28 Olympic sports which will be contested at the 2016 Summer Olympics. In addition, eight non-Olympic sports will be featured:baseball, ten-pin bowling, cricket, kabaddi, karate, sepaktakraw, squash and wushu. The list was finalised on December 9, 2010 at the OCA's executive board meeting in Muscat,Oman.[33][34] This resulted in six other sports: roller sport, chess, cue sports, softball, dancesport and dragon boat, which were held in previous Games being dropped from the list.[35] The list was approved on July 13, 2011 during the 30th annual general assembly in Tokyo as softball incorporated with baseball as one sport while soft tennis is under the discipline of tennis.[36] For the first time, compound archery was introduced as part of the event in archery.[37] Earlier, the organisers proposed to stage 38 sports in the Games, but during the 28th Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) general assembly in Singapore in July 2009, it was decided that the number of sports be trimmed to 35 by contesting the 28 Olympic sports and in-addition of seven non-Olympic sports.[38] The issue was expected to be decided in OCA general assembly during the 2010 Games in Guangzhou, China, but it was delayed because conflict of interest between the organisers and OCA, thus bringing into disputed for sports to be feature. On November 13, 2010, organisers proposed baseball, ten-pin bowling, kabbadi, sepaktakraw, softball, squash, wushu for inclusion and drop cricket due to their view that it is played in a small number of countries and they lacked infrastructure to host it.
