Why
HARYANA brings so many MEDALS ?
Haryana, only 2% of India's population lives here But in the last commonwealth 33% medals came
from here And see this time 34 athletes were sent from here Which is the most from any states Gold is pouring from here this year on 26th january in haryana's
tableau The theme was no.1 in sports Take one of the most popular athletes or bollywood's most popular sports movies they belong from Haryana This question is valid What is special in this soil That so many good sports persons are coming
out of them
History
Of HARYANA
let's explore why so many good athletes come out of haryana First reason is Militarized region haryana is called India's waterloo by many
experts mahabharat's kurukshetra, battle
of terrain, all 3 battles of Panipat,
Battle of Karnaal All of these happened
in Haryana People of Harayana have
always been well built Haryana people
get benefits of this in contact sports Whether
it is boxing or Wrestling The medals that
came from Haryana in last commonwealth
AKHADA Culture
15 out of 22 medals were from boxing and wrestling Haryana has clear dominance of wrestling
because there is a akhada culture You
will find more akhadas here than the grocery shops in your city There are more than 2600 akhadas Where more than 15000 athletes get trained This year all the wrestlers who went to commonwealth are from this state alone
Influence
of ARMY
Look at the result Gold
is raining next big reason is Indian
army's influence the average of per
capita soldier selection in India is 37 But
in Haryana it is 122 South Haryana
districts especially Narnaul, Bhiwani, Rewari
has a craze for Indian army in youth
now you must be thinking what connection sports has with Indian army? It has a big connection Mission Olympics was started in 2001 when Indian army was involved to bring medals
60cr rupees of defence budget were used
to set up army sports institutes in some states
That give world class training Which
in turn gives world class athletes From
Major Dhyan Chand to Paan singh Tomar all are related to army You must have heard about Neeraj Chopra he is junior commissioned officer in army Even he had taken his initial training in
army institute Haryana has a craze for
army and army promotes sports a lot
Good
DIET
When both are clubbed gold rains Next big reason is what people eat here You know what was the most famous slogan of
2010 commonwealth games? Milk and yogurt
in food, our nation Haryana This is true
in sense haryana comes 2nd in India's
milk consumption before independence
haryana's agriculture system was less exploited
meaning they didn't put chemicals
Maybe the reason was that the jamidari system had less effect in there When green revolution came the farmers got
even more rich Their food was already
free of adulteration And when money came
investment on animal husbandry increased
In the state awareness on diet is high
STATE
POLCIES
In 2010 commonwealth winners got money and car from state CM
But also were given 101kg desi ghee Besides
these reasons state has some policies Which
is continuously pushing its growth State
has two different tests consider both
the tests as iit jee in whole India such
sports tests happen in India More than
20 lakh students give these tests Through
these tests state government find talent in early age And start training them at early age One more innovative scheme they have is Mud
to Mat Mud wrestling is a traditional
popular sport They have mixed it with
innovation Which has led to gold rain Even other states can find talent at early
age and train them But one big challenge
comes is that students think what if our
career is not secure? How will we go to
sports? They have a strong scheme to
tackle this They say the people who win
bronze to gold medal They will be given
2.5 to 6cr If you come 4th, you will
still get 50 lakhs If you just qualify
still, you will get 15 lakhs This amount
is big because the Indian olympic
association gives only 75 lakhs for the people who get gold And only 1 lakh for qualification Group C and D job has sports quota with 3%
reservation And who do something big on
international level Get grade A jobs or
even police job You remember Joginder
Sharma? The hero of T20 final He is DSP in Haryana now
Some
HUGE Problems
Our girls are not less than any boys 30% reservation is for girls inside stadium Even after such policies administrative
failures are faced Athletes say promises
are given But they take time to fulfill Manu Baker, Sakshi Malik, Sonam Malik,
Virender Singh Yadav These are some
athletes who are raising issues about unfulfilled promises To reach promises mountain on policy papers We must cross the valleys of administrative
failures on reality grounds
