Had an incredible conversation with Paramjeet Singh Bisht, India’s walk race athlete who just returned from the Paris Olympics 2024. What stuck with me? The glaring gaps in our sports infrastructure at the grassroots level. Yes, Khelo India is a fantastic initiative—it’s moving the needle in the right direction, but it’s not nearly enough. The real challenge? We’re still not doing enough where it matters most—at the foundation.India is teeming with raw talent. But here’s the problem: these athletes aren’t getting the support, infrastructure, or resources they need to succeed. Paramjeet’s journey to the Olympics wasn’t smooth. It was a battle against poor facilities, lack of proper training support, and a system that just doesn’t invest enough at the grassroots. If someone like him made it to the world stage, imagine how many others are left behind simply because they didn’t have the right opportunities.We need to think bigger. Imagine building a sports ecosystem where every kid with potential—whether they’re from a village or a metro—gets the same world-class training, nutrition, and mentorship. What if we created a pipeline that took talent from the streets to the podiums, no matter their background? It’s not just about cheering when we win; it’s about investing when it counts.The future of Indian sports is bright. But we’ve got to get our hands dirty at the grassroots. It’s time to put our money where our talent is.#GrassrootsRevolution #SupportTheBase #OlympicDreams #KheloIndia #InvestInTheFuture #IndiaToTheTop #Uttarakhand
