Upliftment of indian sports through privatization: A possible remedy

India is said to have the largest youth population. The economy of India is a developing mixed economy. It is the world's sixth-largest economy by nominal GDP and the third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP) (IMF, 2017). But India's growth story in sports has always been difficult to comprehend. While there are several factors that have contributed to this condition, the most important among them would undoubtedly be the poor administration and lack of funds. The constant failure of India in different sports events is an indication of widespread corruption and poor infrastructure and therefore, the need of the hour should be to enact a proper model for collaboration between government and private sector for development of sports in India. The corporate sector should be included in more roles than just sponsorship in sporting events and sportsmen. Indian sports currently seems to follow European model of Sports and pyramid where the sports federations are at the top and club culture under them whereas American Model is more business-oriented. In the UK, the government contribution to sport is (and always has been) low. A right balance between public and private sector can be fruitful in development and achievement in sports.
