Ailing Indian sports
With the word sports, 'Cricket' comes in the minds of maximum people of India. Cricket is the only progressive sport considered in India. This cricket culture has diverted the attention of people from other sports in India, especially Indian sports are the most neglected today and have become ailing or sick.
These sports are suffering because of lack of investment, lack of modern and state of the art infrastructure, lack of coaches and most importantly lack of zeal among Indians to pursue these sports. In response to such poor condition of sports in India, the government has launched a scheme called 'Khelo India program', under which students in schools and outside schools are encouraged to participate in sports and infrastructure is being developed to improve the condition of sports in India.
