Good governance is key to a prosperous and inclusive future of the sports persons of Jammu and Kashmir. But the corruption in sports department and Sports Council\u00a0\u00a0become biggest stumbling block\u00a0\u00a0for the promotion of sports in J&K. Not this the sports mafia have made all the recognised J&K Sports Council\u2019s Sports Bodies their fiefdom. The transparency, accountability and sports persons participation missing\u00a0\u00a0in all 57 sports bodies.\u00a0\u00a0The sincere efforts\u00a0\u00a0of elected govt in taking steps to promote sports and games through J&K State Sports Council and the Department of Youth Services throughout the State are getting frustrated because of a mafia having gained ascendancy and having till date, remained uncontained. Those Associations, Federations which have been de-affiliated by the National Federations and Central Government are still receiving grants- in \u2013 aid from J&K Sports Council caring not too hoots for repercussions for criminally violating the rules and regulations. Decoding this \u2018sports mafia\u2019,\u00a0\u00a0one can authoritatively unravel the fact of a nexus in operation comprising unauthorized members of some\u00a0 Associations and a few officials of the Council functioning in close propinquity\u00a0 with one another. This is but only organized loot where genuineness in the entire gamut of things appears to be an oddity.\u00a0\u00a0Will the new Khelo India centre\u00a0\u00a0able to nurture talent as majority of\u00a0\u00a0these centres already opened in J&K are defunct.\u00a0\u00a0Chief Minister is committed to transforming Jammu & Kashmir into a hub of sporting excellence by creating world-class infrastructure and opportunities for athletes but the nexus between Sports Bodies and Sports Council and Administrative Secretary to Youth Services and Sports Deptt will prove\u00a0\u00a0biggest stumbling\u00a0\u00a0block in his way. The story\u00a0\u00a0of growing corruption is not end here crore of rupees have been spend on purchase of sports materials by\u00a0\u00a0the Sports council, but sports persons still spend their own pocket money to purchase shuttle cock, Badminton rackets, Football, handball, Volleyball etc. There is need to streamline functioning of sports council by amended its constitution\u00a0\u00a0and restoring its autonomous structure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
