Why does a big country like INDIA fail to produce top class athletes?

Backdrop of weak performance of Indian Olympic team

Although India saw a number of rising stars in the past Olympic Games, the performance of Indian athletes and the tally of medals acquired by the contingents have been consistently poor. Being the second most populous country, India holds the worst Olympic record in terms of medals per head. India won only one gold medal in the past three decades in 2008 in the men’s 10m rifle. The London 2012 Olympics have been remarkable for India as it bagged six medals, which is additionally its biggest haul. However, if we look at the ratio of population to medals, the tally stands at one medal for every 200 million people. This record indubitably explains the picture of India’s performance. 

Shortcomings of Indian Sports Law

The reason behind India’s failure to produce quality players and improving the performance of athletes in Olympics over the years can also be attributed to poorly implemented sports laws. Sports law never obtained vital significance by policy-makers. Since sports have been commercialized, the companies have started working autonomously and consequently the rights and interests of athletes are affected. Laws prohibiting doping in sports have been implemented, but the results are not effective. Doping means use of prohibited substances for improving sporting performance. The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) has been established for the purpose of controlling doping among sportspersons, but the implementation has not been as per the expectations.

 


FUNS INVERSTED BY COUNYRIES:

 

Every year, the USA gives out about $50 million to more than 40 national sport federations to help athletes in their medal quest. The funding for specific sports goes down if they don’t win medals.

China has a state-funded approach. In 2016, China’s General Administration of Sports received $651 million (4.5 billion yuan) in government funding, an uptick of 45% from 2011.

Australia, which has a track record of performing well at the Summer Olympics, earmarked just $272 million for its own sports commission in 2016.

India’s spend is minuscule by comparison — in fact, the government cut the sports budget by Rs 230.78 crore in the Olympic year.

We also live in the age of instant gratification and perhaps that is why the importance of building brick-by-brick is lost on many. The top countries have been spending big money for a long time. India still lacks infrastructure and the Target Olympic Podium Scheme programme is very athlete-focussed and has just come into being. It also doesn’t help that our sports ministers keep making random predictions (‘India will be among top 10 by 2028 Olympics,’ predicted the ex-sports minister Kiren Rijiju in september 2020).

Much about processor

 ABOUT PROCESSOR  The parameters we needed to look into is : Cores Clock speed Catch memory Overclocking Hyper-Threading   CORES: The central processing unit (or CPU) is what allosws your PC to perform tasks through applications and provides instructions that deliver information stored to RAM  (random access memory). CPU cores are the pathways made up of billions of microscopic transistors within a processor that help to make it work. For anyone interested in multi-tasking, you’ll need at least two cores to get the job done properly. which add more power and capabilities than ever before. The more cores you have in your computer, the easier it is to work on a number of tasks at once. CLOCK SPEED : he higher your CPU speed, the more likely it is that your computer will run well across multiple applications. CPU speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz), and a cpu speed  of 3.5 GHz is more than enough for most users to run your preferred software. For gaming, video edi...

TOP PRODUCTS AT ARE BANNED IN OTHER COUNTRIES NOT IN INDIA .

  There's a whole lot of stuff that's banned in India, and the movement is only getting larger. With media attention focused so much on this practise though, it's easy to forget that they also outlaw things in other parts of the world. Some of the things we see so commonly around us in everyday life are actually rare commodities in other countries. Let's just say, a lot of times things don't get to fly under the radar.   1. Lifebuoy Soap These soaps are considered bad for the skin, and are apparently only used to clean certain animals abroad. It is openly sold in India as a regular soap for humans however. 2 . Red Bull It is officially restricted in France and Denmark, and in Lithuania for people under 18 years of age, it is completely prohibited. The side effects of this drink include heart problems, depression, hypertension and convulsions. 3.PESTICIDES More than 60 harmful pesticides such as Endosulfan, DDT, and many more have been banned abroad.
