5 Indian sports issues that new Sports Minister Jitendra Singh urgently needs to address

3.Promotion of indigenous sports

While by and large the coverage given to Indian sport has improved a great deal in the last few years, there are a few that are still looking to attract the attention of the people. 2015 proved to be a great year in terms of achievements in some of the lesser known sports.

The Indian Sepak Takraw team, for instance, won the bronze medal at the International de France de Sepak Takraw Championship last year.The Indian Women’s Ultimate team are on their way to represent the country at the World Championships in London later this year and there are many more of such examples where athletes are excelling but are not getting the needed facilities.

It is certainly a matter that should be taken seriously by the incoming sports minister and hopefully, we can see a further change in the days to come.
