TG athletes can gain from new sports policy
If Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has his say and goes all-out to implement his ambitious sports agenda, then the State, and its capital city in particular, will boast of world-class sports infrastructure across disciplines in the next couple of years. On the face of it, this is a praiseworthy effort as the bane of the Indian political apparatus has been the insipid promotion of sports, baring a select few. Budgetary allocations for sports have never been inspirational. In fact, the neglect is such that some allocations have been reduced here and there. The ambitiously carved out 32-page sports policy unveiled by Revanth Reddy the other day makes for a wonderful reading as he promises everything under the moon to realise his dream of making the state the hub of international sports. The comprehensive vision lays stress on strengthening governance, boosting infrastructure, and ushering in a breathtaking sports ecosystem that would result in the emergence of medal-winning athletes. There is no doubt that once he goes about the implementation process and enhances budgetary allocations, there would be smiles on the faces of countless sportspersons, coaches and the support staff. Over a period, Telangana can indeed be the envy of the nation going by the manner it brings about the best of infrastructure and sports avenues, including supporting budding talent coming from the poorer strata. Alas, carried away by the moment, Reddy revealed the politician in him when he spoke rather exaggeratedly that Hyderabad would be fit enough to host some Olympic disciplines by 2036. This is too ambitious a remark given that preparing grounds and facilities and putting in place infrastructure of an extraordinary kind for the mega event is no child's play. What the city has, as of now, is not sound enough to host even a fraction of the events that feature in Olympics. He should take cue from his political mentor N Chandrababu Naidu, who, in his effort to provide the best of facilities for the 2002 National Games, came up with the finest stadiums and playing surfaces. Budget was no problem. J Jayalalithaa constructed the magnificent JN stadium in nine months. Can Revanth Reddy emulate these records? The fact is that the stadiums constructed by Naidu like GMC Balayogi athletics stadium, KVBR stadium, tennis complex and the velodrome are all outdated as the wear and tear must have worn them out. They need to be refurbished before the city is good enough to host the National Games two years down the line, towards which Reddy is to approach the Indian Olympic Association. However, realising the herculean task that lies up ahead, the Chief Minister has played his masterstroke-a Public Private Participation (PPP). This will go a long way in helping him realise the dream of nurturing Olympic gold medallists and world champions across disciplines. Adding to this is the smart move to constitute a 14-member Board of Governors to oversee handling of the Telangana Sports Development Fund (TSDF). Featuring some big names from the world of sports and industry, including Kapil Dev, Abhinav Bindra, Pullela Gopichand and Bhaichung Bhutia, it will be headed by industrialist Sanjeev Goenka, which ensures transparent and accountable utilisation of resources that will be raised through the PPP mode. A good beginning has been made as the state was able to sign MoUs with many keen investors and sponsors. This can help promote exchange programmes with other nations and invest in proven international coaches. Hopefully, this will mark the beginning of rewarding days for sportspersons from Telangana.

Commission report on Kaleshwaram will be tabled in the Assembly to decide future course of action: CM
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced that the report submitted by Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose Commission, which inquired into the alleged irregularities and illegalities in Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project, will be placed in the Assembly for a thorough discussion. The Chief Minister said the session of the legislature will be convened soon so as to elicit the views of all political parties on the future course of action that should be taken into the findings of the report. 'We will take views of all political parties. Leader of the Opposition K. Chandrashekhar Rao and his party can give their views on the report,' he said. Mr. Revanth Reddy was speaking on Monday (August 04) after the meeting of the State Cabinet which approved the Ghose Commission report. He lamented that the previous government headed by Mr. Chandrashekhar Rao shifted the location of the Pranahita Chevella project in the name of redesign and commissioned the construction of Medigadda Barrage against the recommendations of the expert committee. Two other barrages Annaram and Sundilla, forming part of the project, too developed cracks, he said adding the lopsided decisions of the previous government had resulted in damages to the project which was billed as lifeline for Telangana. He said the Congress government had appointed the judicial commission in line with the promise made in the election manifesto and the Commission conducted thorough examination of over 110 people, including Mr. Chandrashekhar Rao, then Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao and Finance Minister Eatala Rajender, before finalising its report. 'There are no politics in this. The Commission is an independent judicial body, not a government-manned one,' he said replying to queries on charges made by BRS MLC Kalvakuntla Kavita. He said Ms. Kavita ought to have represented her case to the Commission if she had any issues rather than criticising the government now. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka criticised the former Chief Minister and BRS president for misleading the Assembly with his claims on Kaleshwaram project. While suppressing the report of the expert committee against construction of the barrages, the previous government claimed that the project had approvals from the Cabinet and fulfilled all the requirements. 'It is the sole decision of the then Chief Minister to change the project site with claims that there is no availability of water at Tummidihatti. This was at a time when the then Union Jal Shakti Minister Uma Bharti approved hydrological clearance to Pranahita Chevella project on the ground that 205 tmcft water was available at Tummidihatti,' he said.
