ABSTRACT:In the realm of sports, achieving excellence is closely intertwined with fostering patriotic sentiments. Our aim should be to propel India into the forefront of the 21st century, not just in sports, but also in various other domains such as the economy, education, science, technology, arts, and culture. This entails ensuring that India ranks lowest on the global corruption index while securing a high position among the world's most developed nations on the human development index. For any nation aspiring to excel in international sports, it's imperative to cultivate a culture where sports are embraced as a popular pursuit. India needs to embark on a nationwide initiative to provide all its citizens with access to sports facilities and opportunities. Without a broad and robust base of participation, it's unlikely for India to produce a sufficient number of elite athletes capable of competing successfully on the global stage. In essence, ascending to greatness in sports at the highest levels necessitates fostering growth at the grassroots level. To achieve this, there must be significant investment in constructing sporting facilities across the country. Urban planning and housing regulations should include mandatory provisions for the creation of public parks, playgrounds, and sports facilities accessible to all. This integration of sports infrastructure into our societal framework is essential for nurturing a generation of athletes and fostering a culture of sportsmanship and excellence throughout the nation.
