INTRODUCTION Since, we have remained quite

unorganized for long to develop multidisciplinary promotion of sports in India. Hence a fast track multi-action development is the only solution.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL THREE ACTIONS , NAMELY 1. CREATION OF B.Sc.(COACHING)-SC. COACH

2. MAKING SPORTS –A CORE IN B.Ed. 3.AKING SPORTS – A CORE IN ALL UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES.

BASIC PROBLEM THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS

THAT WE DO NOT KNOW OUR NATIONAL PROBLEM, BUT EVERYBODY IS MAKING CLAIMS THAT THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM.

HENCE WE HAVE REMAINED WHERE WE WERE IN 1900s WITHOUT ANY PROGRESS.

HOW MANY OF US KNOW THAT HELIO-CENTRIC SYSTEM WAS DISCOVERED IN 1600, BUT ACCEPTED AROUND 1800.

EGG V/S HEN ACTUAL PROBLEM IS WHETHER EGG

CAME THE FIRST OR THE HEN APPEARED FIRST.

OUR COUNTRY IS WORKING ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT EGG IS FIRST WHILE THE FACT IS WHATEVER EVOLUTIONARY CHANGES COME THEY ARE CARRIED BY THE PARENTS AND GURUS/TEACHERS TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF CHANAKYA WHO SELECTED THE RIGHT DISCIPLE ASHOKA AND TRAINED TO MAKE HIM KING.

PROBLEM CAN’T BE TACKLED

IT IS NOT THAT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DISCOVERED EARLIEAR.

ABOUT 2500 YEARS EARLIER, PLATO HAD POINTED OUT THE IMPORTANCE BY SAYING

“INACTIVITY DESTROYS THE GOOD HEALTH OF EACH INDIVIDUAL WHILE ACTIVITY MAINTAINS AND PROMOTES IT” …….PLATO, 427-347 B.C.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPLEMENTATION

EVEN IN OUR COUNTRY MANY EDUCATION COMMISSIONS HAD RECOMMENDED THE NEED OF ALL ROUND DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONA OF THE STUDENT RIGHT IN THE YEAR 1901, BUT TO NO IMPACT ON EDUCATIONISTS.

AS LONG AS ALL TEACHERS ARE NOT WITH THE FACT , THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES CAN’T BE IMPROVED.

NAAC FACILITY NOT UTILIZED

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NATIONAL ACCREDITING & ASSESSMENT COUNCIL MEANT TO CONTROL THE QUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION, BUT FOR IMPROVEMENT, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT NAAC KNOWS WHAT IS HIGHER EDUCATION. DUE TO AUTHORITY WITH NAAC NO BODY CAN TELL IT THAT FIRST SET THE OBJECTIVE AND VALID STANDARDS WITH THE HELP OF MEASUREMENT & EVALUATION EXPERTS.

HUMAN NATURE WHEN ADULT, HUMAN NATURE IS OF

THAT MIND THAT NONE CAN TEACH ME, I KNOW EVERYTHING.

WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT NO BODY CAN TEACH ANY OTHER BODY, BUT IT IS EQUALLY TRUE THAT EVERYBODY HAS TO LEARN THROUGHOUT LIFE WITH OPEN MIND.

SUGGESTIONS – NOT ACCEPTED

AS EVERYBODY IS WORKING ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT HE DOES NOT NEED TO LEARN, OR KNOW ANY SUGGESTION,

THEREFORE, THE CHANCES OF EXPERTISE TO ESTABLISH TAKES CENTURIES.

SOME OF US KNOW THAT BRUNO GIARDANO WAS BURNT ALIVE ON THE CHARGES OF HERESY ON DISCOVERING THAT EARTH IS REVOLVING ROUND THE SUN, WHILE GALIO GALILIE WAS PUT UNDER HOUSE ARREST 4 THE SAME.

THE SOLUTIONS 4 BRINGING MEDALS & OLYMPISM IN

INDIA ALTHOUGH THE SOLUTIONS ARE

WIDELY KNOWN TO EXPERTS,BUT THEY ARE IN A TRAFFIC JAM ,CAN IMPLEMENT AS SOON AS THE ROAD BLOCKS ARE REMOVED.

REPEATING THE SOLUTIONS SEQUENCE:-

1.DECISIONS & POLICIES FRAMED MUST BE MADE 2 IMPLEMENT SCIENTIFICALLY THROUGH MANAGEMENT ‘S POL-C.

SOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) THE QUALITY CONTROL AND

COURSES ASSIGNING AGENCIES MUST BE ASKED TO COMPETE TO REACH AT THE BEST MODEL.

THE CITIZENS MUST LIVE CONSCIOUSLY AND NOTE WHAT IS MEANT BY EDUCATION AND WHAT IS TAUGHT BY THE SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

PEOPLE MUST ARGUE TO SEE THE END PRODUCT SAMPLES, THOROUGHLY DEFINED FOR THEIR PROPERTIES.

SOLUTIONS ( CONTINUED) WHEN WE KNOW ONLY CHANAKYAS

MAY PRODUCE KINGS, WE MUST ALSO KNOW ONLY COACHES AND TEACHERS WILL PRODUCE SPORTS PERSONS, BRING MEDALS & PROMOTE OLYMPISM.

HENCE, FIRST STEP SHOULD BE TO STANDARDIZE THE EDUCATION OF THE COACH AND ALL TEACHERS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY SELECT TALENT FOR TRAINING WITH THE BEST SCIENTIFIC BACK-UP.

WHO WILL BELL THE CAT THE SOLUTION MUST REACH THE

HANDS WHO CAN CLEAR THE ROAD AHEAD.

ALL OF US KNOW THAT EVEN FATHER OF THE NATION MAHATMA GANDHIJI COULD NOT GET THE RIGHT DECISION IMPLEMENTED TO ADOPT EDUCATION AS DRAWING OUT THE BEST OUT OF BODY , MIND AND SOUL, HENCE OUR PATH IS VERY DIFFICULT & LIKE HOPING AGAINST HOPE. IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE .

OBJECTIVE STEPS 4 SOLUTION

1. STANDARDIZE THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF A GOOD UNIVERSITY , COLLEGE AND A SCHOOL.

2. MANAGE TO ADOPT THOSE STANDARDS IN ALL STATES, SCHOOL EDUCATION BOARDS AND UNIVERSITIES.

3. REVISE NAAC CRITERIA TO INCLUDE COMPLIANCE TO SUPREME COURT, NPE,NSP, UGC NCTE DECISIONS .

4. START COURSES COVERING BEST COACH PRODUCTION, TALENT SELECTION AND TRAINING

THE PROCESS- DEFINING THE TERMS

FOR SUCCESS NOTHING BE TAKEN FOR GURANTEED, EVERY TERM MUST BE DEFINED AND THEN CHECKED FOR ITS MEANING BEING GIVEN UNIVERSALY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

MOST IMPORTANT TERMS ARE SPORTS EXERCISE, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, OLYMPISM, EDUCATION, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, PERSONALITY, TEST, MEASUREMENT , EVALUATION ETC. WHICH NEED UNIFORM INTERPRETATION AND DEFINITION THROUGH OUT THE COUNTRY.

EXAMPLE OF STANDARDIZATION

MANY OF US KNOW THAT NAPES, USA HAS ESTABLISHED THE STANDARD DEFINITION OF A PHYSICALLY EDUCATED PERSON AS FOLLOWS:-

A PERSON IS PHYSICALLY EDUCATED ONLY IF S/HE CAN DEMONSTRATE SOME MOTOR SKILLS, KNOWS THE BENEFITS OF P.A., REMAINS REGULAR IN DAILY P.A., KEEPS FIT AND TAKES SELF-RESPONSIBILITY TO RESPECT SELF AND OTHERS WHILE DOING PA FOR CHALLENGE, ENJOYMENT, FITNESS, HEALTH OR 4 ANY OTHER REASON INCLUDING FRIEDSHIP, PEACE, ENVIRON.… SLIGHTLY MODIFIED FROM NAPES,2004

SCIENTIFIC COACH PRODUCTION IN INDIA

AS DISCUSSED ABOVE, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE THE BEGINNING BY STARTING THE PRODUCTION OF SCIENTIFICALLY EDUCATED COACH IN OUR OWN COUNTRY WHO ARE WELLVERSED,RATHER AHEAD IN SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY .

TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS, WE NEED TO OPEN SPORTS SCIENCE UNIVERSITIES IN EACH STATE OF INDIA.

REMAINING DETAILS THE REMAINING SLIDES ARE

MOTIVATIONAL TO PLEAD FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS AND THEREFORE NOT MUCH IMPORTANT TO TODAY’S AUDIENCE WHO HAS ASSEMBLED ONLY BECAUSE OF ITS MOTIVATED STATUS TO IMPROVE INDIAN SPORTS FOR WINNING MEDALS AS WELL AS TO PROMOTE OLYMPISM.

ANY WAY, DEPENDING UPON THE AVAILABILITY OF TIME, I MAY GIVE A QUICK VISIT TO THOSE SLIDES HURRIEDLY.

ACTIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

IN ORDER TO GET BEST RESULTS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL TEACHERS OF THE SCHOOLS ARE SPORTS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SAVVY.

HENCE TO ACHIEVE BEST OUT-PUT , WE MUST TEACH AT LEAST ONE THEORY+PRACTICAL PAPER OF PHYSICAL FITNESS & SPORTS TO B.Ed. STUDENTS WHO ARE THE FUTURE TEACHERS .

ORIENTATION OF EXISTING TEACHERS

MASSIVE BUT SIMPLE ENJOYABLE ORIENTATION PROGRAMMES OF SPORTS AND FITNESS (WITH EASILY AVAILABLE RESOURCE MATERIAL ) ARE TO BE CONDUCTED FOR THE EXISTING SCHOOL & COLLEGE TEACHERS.
