Many people believe that governments investment in sports is leading to wastage of money instead it should be invested in public services. I disagree with this statement to a larger extent both are important for various reasons.
Investment in sports has given India a global recognition worldwide. Many poor usually apply in universities through scholarships in sports quota. There are various sports competition that rewards students all over the world, additionally students are very passionate about sports they dream of becoming sportsmen like cricketers, footballers like Virat Kohli, PV Sindhu, Sania Mirza. They are a youth icon for children and an inspiration for all.
Investing in sports is of utmost significance. It enables a lot of employment opportunities and fulfilment of dreams. Although importance of public services cannot be denied either but government should plan their investment in such a way it is beneficial for public but deploying sports fund in public services is not recommendable. Moreover, it is not wastage of funds on the other hand a practice to encourage growth. Many people choose sports as a career we should encourage them to represent our country and showcase their talent among international borders and make our country proud.
Alternatively, Government can take initiates such as employment opportunities in sports, more training centres that would additionally help both society and sports. Society would get encouragement to gain more skills and get employed and help in overall growth of economy. Sports play an important role for people of any country and we should give people more opportunities and investment that would be their wings to fly.
