1.We need to understand why all the politicians are getting the role as a second home in the sports bodies. A good player in a particular sport should be elected to manage that body. I don't understand why Rajeev Shukla, Arun jaitly, Narendra Modi, Sharad Pawar should be state cricket association heads. Why not Kapil Dev, Manider Singh, Saurav Ganguly ? 2.There should be a limit on service.. like no body should service for than two terms in a sports body.

On 26-4-15 in his speech Maan Ki baat Respected PM Mr Narendra Damodardas Modi emphasized on MAYLA MATHE PE DHONA (carrying dirt on head). The phrase was headline in each and every NEWS of the day. Is He really concern about this and made provisions of reservation in LOK SABHA, RAJYA SABHA, STATE VIDHAN SABHA, MILITARY etc etc etc ...... Such reservations are in place in other aspects of life. Respected PM Mr NARENDRA DAMODARDAS MODI SIR do you have explanation or just a speech.

Whole process of every appointment for major positions like president, board members, selection committee, etc., and the qualification of candidates must be made available online. Each and every step involved in selection (members & players for major tournaments) and justification for the selection also needs to be published for all.

First and most important thing that we should do is to appoint ex-sportsperson (who has proved himself in their respective sports) at every important decision making position. Put a strict standard operating procedure for everything be it procurement, recruitment, appointment. Make it mandatory for everything to have a timeline which should be strictly adhered to. Every individual be it sportsperson or office bearer should be given point for their every achievement to grade their performance.

Catch and groom the talented when they are young.. Tough for a vast country like India... Grooming from grass root is important... Mechanism to find and pouch the talent at the young age is all the more important.. For which people shouldn't be indoors formulating or selecting people... should go to the ground... The Ex players who are good at their field should be the one to head the department (should be unbiased )

To ensure good governance, only sports persons of outstanding merit at international level with clean back ground have to be selected. The selectors must be above petty and selfish personal gain and nepotism. Then only can we pave in the way for a great sporty India, a shining India. Football should be given priority by appointing foreign coaches so that India can qualify for World cup.
