Vishal Kumar Singh interviewed Mr. Chiranjeevi Suman for Plawyered. This interview is an honest attempt of the Plawyered to investigate the real scenario of sports in Bihar. Chiranjeevi Suman Vishal with Chiranjeevi Tell us about yourself? Page | 5 I am a student of B.A. LL.B. (H.) from School of Law and Governance, Central University of South Bihar. Currently I am in second year of study. I am also the Team Manager of Tchoukball Association of Bihar. How do you associate yourself with the sports? Like every child I used to play cricket during my childhood days. Then I also played Vollyball for quite few time. I have represented my school in various sports events such as atheletics. So, basically I have been a sports enthusiast since childhood. Tell us something about Tchoukball? Tchoukball is basically a Scottish game. There are seven players in each team. The ground for Tchoukball is in the form of a courtyard of 27 meters * 16 meters. There are two corners, at each corner there is a frame similar to the goalpost of soccer. But the difference is that each team can score goal in either goalpost(frame). Players cannot touch each other during the game, if he/she does so, it will be treated as fault. What are your views on Condition of sports in Bihar? Page | 6 The condition of sports in Bihar is very bad. The government in Bihar is not taking any step in this regard with the sports field. There is no scope for any sports in Bihar. The talents from Bihar either migrate to other states or leave the sports field. What is Status of Tchoukball in Bihar? This a quite new game in Bihar. How can we expect the condition of Tchoukball to be good when the condition of a gameeven like cricket is not good here. But we are in process to get our association registered. Till now we have been sending our teams in Men’s and women’s category to various national championship and tournaments. Once, we are registered we will be able to hold such events in Bihar for the Sub- Junior, Junior and Senior category. Page | 7 What do you expect from Government? We are currently in the process of registration with the government. We wish recognition for the Tchoukball association. We also feel that government of Bihar should work for the betterment of the stadiums and sports grounds in Bihar. Also, there is need for appreciation for sports at the local levels. We expect support from Government in organizing national and international sports eventsin future in Bihar. Page | 8 Who is your favorite sports person? Yuvraj Singh What is your message to the youngsters? The youngsters need to work hard if they are thinking about sports seriously. There should be a fine balance between sports and studies. If they believe they want to play and they can do better in this field they should definitely listen to their hearts and try their level best to achieve success in their efforts.
