Welcome priority for sports
The most successful Olympics that India enjoyed in Tokyo 2020 has prompted many states to renew their focus on sports which otherwise has been the most neglected part of their list of priorities. Everyone, from chief ministers to the prime minister have sidestepped pressing issues for a brief passage of time to justifiably honour the men and women who have brought laurels to the country. The euphoria around India's Olympic success has been so huge that it has pushed even Karnataka, a state where barring cricket, infrastructure for other sports across the state is average, to realise the value of investing in sports. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has announced formation of a high-level committee tasked with identifying 75 promising athletes from the state for the Paris Olympics.
