While some of these problems are addressed in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th stages, there are a
few issues that will need some radical steps from the Govt Of India
There is the need for an Indian Sports Commission to be setup headed by a Strong
Industry experienced stalwart with keen interest in Sports (eg - Nandan Nilkeni for
unique ID model). The chairperson can set committees for each sport with co chairs in

THE ENGAGAMENT MODEL FROM THE AGE 4 (District Level to National Team)
• 3 leagues formed at Age 4 will continue to play the chosen sport for 3 years till Age 7
• At Age 7, a single DISTRICT TEAM is selected. The team is referred by the birth year of the children (eg – 02 batch in 2009)
• DISTRICT TEAMS to play inter district matches within state till AGE 10. At AGE 10, one STATE TEAM per year of birth are
selected (referred to year)
• From Age 10 to Age 12, a state team member can appear for ZONAL TEAM selection. i.e. The Zonal team is selected from
the Age Group of 10, 11 and 12. If not selected in a particular year, you continue to play State level till Age 12
• From Age 12 to Age 15, all the Zonal team members play zonal level tournaments.
• From Age 15, NATIONAL LEVEL selection will take place.
By such an exhaustive selection process for the National team, where a player is groomed at each level, the famous 10,000
hour rule will be satisfied. The selected national player would have definitely played with/against his team member
numerous times and this will form the backbone of a strong team

RESPONSIBILITY TO POPULARIZE THE SPORT FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS –
Investments from Govt. are hard to get and time consuming, hence private
Before implementing an engagement model for future sportspersons, we sector partnership has to be introduced
need to look for various avenues to popularize these sports.
While various steps need to be taken to popularize the sport, the Injury Management Insurance against Career threatening injuries and Career
responsibility needs to be shared between a) National & Zonal Level Mgmnt Agencies to be set up at Zonal levels
Executive Team b) State & District Level Executive Team
The initial expense of building sports complex can be shared by Govt and
Stakeholders of each state/ district are ultimately responsible for generating other stakeholders – Corporate level Donation Campaigns can be organized
funds for such investments at grass root level
Private partner for each state/district will be a consortium of a media
houses( Regional TV channels, Newspapers, Radios), Large corporate houses
An Entertainment based model for fund generation – with interest in sporting industry (Shoe manuf. Like NIKE, Fabric manuf.,
Fitness equipments, Fitness goods, health food), Other local industries and
• The Sporting Complex of each district should stand as cultural pillars of commercial establishments ( eg: Jewelers in Kerala, IT companies in
the region Karnataka, Construction giants in Delhi)
• Timing of each tournament ( Zonal, State and District) should be
planned according to the social lifestyle of the district. National /Zonal Level Sponsor for merchandizing/TV rights etc.
• Promotion of movies along with each tournament/teams
• Screening of movies after each match in open Training coaches/physcio and dieticians at district level to become a part of
• Organizing theme based MELA and carnival promoting sporting culture the sports centre
• Product Launch /New Product display conducted between matches
• Brand Promotion through participating teams
• Each state/zone can promote Sports Tourism by inviting international NON FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS –
Tier 2/3 leagues for friendly matches
Support from Govt, will be in terms of mind share, such as –
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES Free allocation of govt. owned stadiums/ existing sporting facilities for all
ailing sports until the federation breakevens. Tie up with BCCI to provide

state with the highest level of facilities. Since athletics/archery/
weightlifting etc cannot go through such a rigorous league system, the Making it mandatory for District Heads, MP’s and MLA’s to become
most promising candidates in such areas from the district level will be stakeholders in their constituencies initiatives – Allocate more funds through

12th examination where each student will specialize practically and asked to associate with a sport – In Kerala, Mohanlal and Mamooty are
theoretically in at least 2 areas of sports currently ambassadors for Athletics and Volleyball respectively
Since the expenses are low in District and State leagues, we will not require
huge International sponsors.
Additional Investments
• Improve the culture of Physical Recreational Activity such as walking, aerobics which is very low in India – Organize
Marathons across the country, Group Activities in Sports Centre, Yoga Sessions etc.
• Government many invite teams from various countries as guests of Indian Govt. Friendly matches to be organized
• Coacher’s coaching camps - national level camps for coaches at various levels
Sponsoring Companies - For companies like NIKE, ADIDAS, they are able to attract an entirely new range of target
customer group in India which did not exist till now. For other sponsoring companies, visibility is an important
factor, which is materialized through the new model
Media Houses: Media houses will naturally get associated with the initiative since it will become a sort of hygiene
factor for them to cover the program – which is hyped across through various points
• Only such a drastic step will induce the thought of becoming WORLD CLASS into
the minds of Indian Athletes – today, their priorities are different, their ambitions
reach a dead-end, once they get selected to represent India.
