Money being put into cricket is harming development of other sports. (SCMHRD)

Favour

  • Cricket is very popular in our country so companies are always ready to sponsor cricket.
  • Finding sponsor for other sports in India is very difficult.
  • Players of other sports are struggling a lot to be in game. They are facing trouble to buy equipment (sport gears) as there income is low and no one is ready to sponsor.
  • As no one is sponsoring, grounds and courts are in bad conditions.
  • Indian teams are performing poor in Olympics and other contests.
  • Money flowing in to cricket attracting all youngsters. Few are making career in other sports.

Against

  • Department of sports or sports ministry have fixed budget and it has to allocate this money for productive use. If cricket is more popular than government have to grant more money to it as compared to other sports.
  • The number of aspiring cricketers speaks for itself that how much popular game it is in our nation.
  • Companies want to sponsor a popular sport that gives them maximum publicity and in India cricket is no doubt most popular game.

Conclusion

  • It seems true that money in cricket is harming other sports because youngsters only want to play cricket due to money and fame.
  • Cricket is popular that’s why all money flowing to it.

Point: For-Cricket has even overshadowed our national sport hockey. we all know that hockey is our national sport but cricket is given more importance.An average child who is not even as tall as a cricket bat hopes to be Sachin some day why not Ajit Singh why not Dhyan Chand? it is our society responsible for this mess, every problem has a solution

Point: we are emerging as one of the competetive nation in dis world....so we must provide each and every opportunity to every citizen so that we can achieve optimum productivity so we must understand every game....to meet the same goal as other nations seek to obtain. every game has their own rules and we cannt say either the weak or the strong will rule the world...dis is time of spending in another games to improve proficiency of our manpower..

Point: Yes it is really harming the development of other sports. lot of money is being puton cricket, its sponcership etc etc. Youth today is running towards cricket and forgetting about its national game "hockey".We must not run after only one thing because too much of something is also very bad and hence too much of cricket is also reducing the values of other games includig the national game "hockey".

Point: Most of the sponsors are favouring cricket because the exposure and hype that cricket is having is beyond comparison with other sports. so from sponsors point of view they are doing the apt thing as cricket is the only medium that can give max publicity. If the publicity and exposure of other games are elevated to how cricket is now, obviously these games will get sponsors. Its entirely in the hands of games authorities to have proper initiatives and give equal importance to other sports.

Point: there is a vicious cycle.bright history of any sport motivates youngsters to join that sport,and automatically that sport will be popular in that country,so it very obvious that any compony will invest their money in that particular sport and that will promote the growth of that sport.so to break in that vicious cycle in very important from the point of view of to support and promote the other sports.
