India in the world of sports has achieved a lot in recent times and it is important to acknowledge these great achievements. The sports industry is growing every day with big accomplishments from some of our talented athletes all around the world. Right from the game of cricket where India has become an absolute superpower to Neeraj Chopra’s success giving rise to many aspiring athletes to compete in track and field events as well. The growth of Kabaddi has also been a great stepping stone for the nation as well and we hope this improves in the future as well.

There have been a lot of local talents who have also come out in the world of sports thanks to organisations like Khelo India being one of the most popular ones. The growth of local athletes into sporting icons is one of the dreams of any aspiring sportsman in the world. The growth of the sporting world in the country has also given rise to the economy as well. The budget and the money in sport at one stage used to be out of our reach, but now the nation can be one of the superpowers in this field.

This took some people by surprise as well as they were thinking that even after the achievement there will be no appreciation of the sports budget.
