India's sports sector is poised for transformative growth, driven by robust government initiatives, burgeoning infrastructural developments, and a deepening culture of athleticism and competition.
India aims to become a global sports powerhouse through strategic investments in education, infrastructure, and technology, alongside hosting international events. Initiatives like Khelo India and aspirations for the 2036 Olympics drive this ambition. However, challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited grassroots development, funding issues, professional management scarcity, governance, and cultural attitudes towards sports careers hinder progress. Overcoming these hurdles is essential to realise India's full potential in the sports arena.
