Digital Desk: In India, the government has decided to invest heavily in women's sports. Encouraged by India's female athletes' success on the global sporting stage over the years, particularly at multisport events such as the Olympics.
As stated by the government, it has set aside Rs 15.03 crore for the next four years to conduct the Khelo India women's leagues across nine disciplines in order to identify new talent.
The funding will include cash prizes totaling Rs 4.23 crore, which will be directly transferred to the respective national sports federations (NSFs) for use in running the leagues.
Under the Khelo India plan, the sports ministry has approved bids for age-group championships for women in nine sports. Hockey, archery, weightlifting, cycling, boxing, swimming, wrestling, volleyball, and judo are among these sports. Throughout 23,000 female athletes from all over the country are expected to compete.
Similar leagues in senior, junior, youth, and cadet categories will take place in other sports as well. The recently concluded women's hockey league in the under-21 category in Lucknow was the first of such initiatives, and similar leagues in senior, junior, youth, and cadet categories will take place in other sports as well.
The ministry has also approved the Khelo India women's hockey league for under-16s, which will be held in three parts in August, October, and December in New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha, respectively.
The move, according to Piyush Kumar Dubey, coach of the men's hockey team that won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics, will give women's sports in India a boost.
According to coach Piyush "In three respects, these leagues will have a huge impact. For starters, it will create a competitive climate for the young girls who will compete, providing them with a platform to combat pressure and fear.
Second, coaches will be able to evaluate their pupils' performance in competitive competitions away from practise "Dubey stated. "Third, these leagues will aid in the long-term development of the p layers, building on the success our women's team had last year in Tokyo," he continued.
