Khelo India Youth Games: Driving India’s sporting culture

The Hindu  

Champions are mere catalysts, driving a sports culture in the country, which may eventually help India derive many more champions. And the Khelo India Youth Games, efficiently organised at the sprawling Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Balewadi, Pune, could well be a game-changer for sports in the country. It was encouraging to find the media stepping up coverage despite the tendency to lean on cricket, with fabulous photos, heart-warming stories of the athletes’ journey, and focus across many disciplines, leading Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the Union minister for youth affairs and sports with independent charge, to thank the media for being a healthy partner to the sporting campaign. “The movement of Khelo India is to promote a sports culture in schools and colleges, with an international-standard field of play and technical conduct, to inspire the athletes to greater achievements and make India a sporting nation,” summed up Rahul Bhatnagar, the Union sports secretary. From that perspective, the Khelo India Youth Games has really touched and tuned a vital chord in the system.
