Yesterday, this paper reported about an Under-14 football tourney being played at the Azad Maidan and the lack of basic medical facilities on site
Sponsors of tournaments should get themselves involved beyond just doling out money. They should coerce those in charge into upgrading facilities to ensure good participation. They should refuse to sponsor events if basic guidelines of medical facilities such as a doctor on call, a stretcher, an accessible ambulance and other hygiene requirements are not met.
If India aspires to become a sporting power, we should act like one. If we garner hopes of clinching some medals at international level such as Olympics, we must begin at the roots, which is at school level.
Giving training facilities to youngsters, would mean that these young athletes might grow up into becoming the champions of tomorrow.
