“India’s sporting talent is phenomenal, within a single year a child nobody has heard of can rise to the top and become a role model, inspiring thousands more to pick up a sport and dream bigger." - Shri Hari Ranjan Rao, Secretary (Sports), @YASMinistry, at #CIIScorecard2025

The National Sports Governance Act is designed to empower federations to govern themselves, with clear benchmarks, dispute‑resolution structures and ethical safeguards, so that Indian sport can deliver world‑class performance with strong, trusted institutions.

I convey my heartiest congratulations to both the Indian teams, women’s and men’s, for winning the inaugural Kho Kho World Cup. Indian players have demonstrated their supremacy in this traditional game of our country. I am sure that the historic success of our girls and boys will inspire our youth, making the game more popular. I wish both the teams sustained success in the future.

To create a truly inclusive sports environment, providing opportunities for all children to play is essential. We need alternative pathways that allow all athletes, especially grassroots women, to thrive, regardless of medal outcomes. -Ms Nupur Gupta

Sports has the power to break the cycle of poverty, especially in urban slums and rural areas. For women and girls, sports empower them with confidence, leadership, and decision-making skills, transforming not just their lives but entire communities. -Dr Nidhi Pundhir

Creating an inclusive and sustainable environment for grassroots sports is essential. Access to sports should not be determined by privilege, and we must focus on enhancing quality so that everyone can enjoy these vital resources. -Mr Hakimuddin Habibulla

To truly make a difference, we need safe, clean, and green spaces where girls can come out and play. Focusing only on elite sports isn't enough. Financial support at the grassroots level will go a long way in securing more medals and empowering girls. -Ms Sara Abdullah Pilot

In villages where girls aren't allowed to wear shorts or mingle with boys, bringing them to the field was a challenge. We had to earn the trust of parents and shift societal mindsets so their daughters could step onto the ground and participate in sports. -Mr Sudarshan Joon

India has talent, but we need to focus on honing that talent. What counts is how well we can build a pyramid to support the many aspiring athletes across India in the different sports of their choice. Mr Arunava Chaudhuri , Strategic Advisor Sports & Media
