India khelon mein paisa toh laga raha hai, par players ki safety ka kya? Sirf **33** sexual harassment complaints SAi mein aayi hain last 10 saal mein, aur coaches ke khilaaf **25** cases hain. Lekin asli problem ye hai ki koi centralized data nahi hai, aur sabhi sports federations apne mann se safety rules bana rahi hain.
India sports mein global level par naam banane ki koshish kar raha hai, heavy investment aur advanced training bhi de raha hai. Lekin players ki safety ko nazarandaaz kiya ja raha hai, jo ek badi chinta ki baat hai. Parliament mein khulasa hua hai ki Sports Authority of India (SAI) ko pichle 10 saalon mein 33 sexual harassment complaints mili hain, jisme se 25 complaints coaches ke khilaf hain. Sabse badi dikkat ye hai ki alag alag sports federations mein koi centralized data nahi hai, jahan asli khel hota hai.
Chhote systems ke peeche badi problems?
Ye numbers sirf administrative errors nahi hain, ye bade structural problems ki taraf ishara karte hain. Sports mein jahan authority bahut zyada hoti hai aur players hamesha pressure mein rehte hain, wahan galat harkaton ki report karna bahut mushkil hota hai. Comprehensive data ka na hona aksar incidents kam hone ka nahi, balki system mein flaws hone ka proof hai. Problem sirf harassment tak seemit nahi hai, balki excessive training se hone wali career-ending injuries aur mental health issues jaise burnout aur anxiety bhi hain, jinko aksar nazarandaaz kiya jata hai kyunki sab performance par focus karte hain.
National Sports Governance Act aur uski limits
National Sports Governance Act, 2025 athlete welfare aur safe sport principles ki taraf ek kadam hai. Lekin iski efficiency operational capability ki kami se ruk rahi hai. Federations aur institutions ko rules follow karne ke liye kaha gaya hai, par safe sport practices ko kaise implement karna hai, ye un par hi chhod diya gaya hai. Is wajah se standards alag hain, training uneven hai, aur sirf nuksaan hone ke baad hi action liya jaata hai.
Ek naya solution: National Safe Sports Institute
International best practices ke hisaab se, prevention par focus karne wale specialized aur independent institutions hone chahiye. Bade sporting nations mein aise bodies coaches ki training, competency certification, aur compliance audits karti hain. India bhi aisa hi model bana sakta hai - ek National Safe Sports Institute. Ye ek non-governmental body hogi jo public policy ke saath kaam karegi aur capability building par focus karegi. Ye coaches aur physical education teachers ke liye multilingual, digital training develop karegi, competency-based certifications layegi, aur independent audits karegi.
Ek technology backbone scalable, standardized content delivery, verifiable digital certifications, aur national compliance evidence base banane mein help karegi. Isse complaint-driven model ki jagah prevention ko priority milegi. SAI mein ek pilot program se ye processes test ki ja sakti hain, jiske baad state sports development programs mein bhi isko laagu kiya ja sakta hai aur formal training pathways mein integrate kiya ja sakta hai. Independence, athletes aur experts ka representation is institute ki success ke liye bahut zaroori hai. India ne pehle bhi public-interest institutions banane mein success dekhi hai, sports bhi ussi list mein hona chahiye.
