Mr Sushil Ramola Mr Eddie Rock focused his presentation around development of youth through sport, with a special emphasis on co-existence skills that help young boys and girls to survive and work with each other. He referred to the Commonwealth Games as he mentioned that sport is a huge global fraternity today. “It gives people skills for a lifetime, that could be helpful in creating opportunities for livelihood later,” he said. He also advocated that girls should be given an equal place when it comes to sporting opportunities, as he cited the US Government’s instruction of making sport available to all girls in schools and colleges in 1970. The young sport enthusiast also said that sport enables people to handle failure with more grace, and inculcates a culture of giving. Mr Sandeep Dutt began with saying that there is development when there is sport. He held sport to be the most adaptable and successful youth empowerment tools. Talking about the education system, he said that education gives 25% of what one is and the remaining comes from practice. He highlighted the need for taking up the responsibility of the under-25 youth in the country, which forms a major part of the population for India. He said that the fundamental nature of sport used for development should focus on improvement of individual ability, be secular and non-competitive, and involve voluntary, willful participation. He further added that sport equips one for life through adventure, service and skills. Mr Sushil Ramola in his presentation highlighted the fact that India has 25% of the world’s young population, and there are many challenges that need to be taken care of. He listed employability, awareness and quality as the main focus points in sport-based programmes. “Five hundred million young people need these skills in the country,” he said. He supported that sport has a learning angle to it, and when one plays, a lot of traits like confidence, self-belief, leadership, conflict-resolution, communication, and problem-solving naturally come to the fore and get developed. He advocated playing for fun, playing to get a voice, playing to get a resolution to a conflict situation, and playing to learn as essential elements of sport programmes.
