‘Manipur is a sport powerhouse’ is an oft-repeated statement. With a long list of names that have made it to medal winning hall of fame for the state, there is indeed cause for us to feel pride for the sportspersons who have made a name for themselves and for the small state they belong to. Apart from sportspersons making their presence at the finishing podium and being decorated with medals, there are numerous football players in the various professional teams spread across the country. At the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Glassgow, sportspersons of Manipur are making their mark in various disciplines in continuance of earlier sporting events at national and international levels where they have performed well. The performance of our sportspersons at various levels of competition is what has given the tag of ‘power house in sports’ and ‘sports loving state’. But a little bit of deeper analysis is needed to ascertain whether sports is indeed a mass scale and popular choice that is being nurtured.
While there are no real studies in this regard, it would not be wrong to say that along with a talent and aptitude for sports, many take it up as an entry ticket to a better life, a Government job placement or such. A majority of sportspersons from the state in fact is from less privileged backgrounds and become the main income earners for their families once they make a mark on the sports scene and rewards pour in. The lack of infrastructural support for sports disciplines can be seen in the narratives of the lives of football players who make do with bare feet while practicing with pomello fruits (nobab) and hockey players who make do with hockey sticks and balls fashioned out of cane or bamboo while there are no swimming pools to speak off apart from natural ponds and lakes. It is in this spirit of making a mark in sports despite the lack of support that there has been a train of thought on the level that sportspersons can reach with a little bit of backing.
The financial allocation for a Sports University in Manipur in the Union budget 2014 in fact, comes with the mention of the state being deserving of the aid while also making a mention of sports being a medium to bring youths to the mainstream. On another track, the mention of the word ‘mainstream’ is sheer irony as sports in India is still mostly about cricket and little else. We all know for a fact that cricket is played by less than twenty countries at the international level and despite there being a ‘world cup’ for the game, it is yet to be included as an Olympic sport discipline. Despite this lack of an international following, it is cricket that has all the financial backing and support in the country. The allocation for the Sports University is welcome news but one would do well to see that things are strategically planned, executed in a transparent manner and quality maintained. When Manipur organized an edition of the National Games in 1999, we got a range of sports related infrastructure but facts and history stand witness to the fact that a lot of contractors were the ones who benefited the most. And who can forget the heady rush that was on public display regarding who took off electric fittings, furniture and even flower-pots?
But apart from the all too important financial backing, aided by transparent overseeing and quality control for sports related ventures in the state, there has to be long term strategies to inculcate a love for sports on a large scale and not just let it be confined among lower income families. Another area that needs to be looked when it comes to supporting sportspersons is in their pursuit of academics. Many are often unable to be regular attendees in their places of study given their participation at various levels of competition and it’s only fair that educational institutions makes concessions for sportspersons by either instituting extra classes for those competing at state, national and international levels and going the extra mile of scheduling examinations as per their sports schedules. No amount of funding input can help the cause of sports if there is a shortfall in terms of holistic approaches.

Imphal, July 28: Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh has invited suggestions regarding the introduction of an Act to control the influx of foreigners in the State, today taking advantage of the zero hour on the last day of the Budget session.
The State government is awaiting suggestions from experts or the legal fraternity to determine an Act to control the influx of foreigners in the State before the implementation of the Inner Line Permit.
He said that, in the past one week of Budget session, the House has discussed various issues raised by several organisations including the demand for implementation of the ILP, killing of innocent people by UGs, in public interest among others.
Coming to the much criticised police action against students and women agitators of the ILP in the past few days, the Chief Minister said it was infact a painful incident and further acknowledge that the State’s law enforcing agency had been harsh.
The Chief Minister maintained that the State government is not against implementation of ILP.
He however said that the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation Act 1873 was implemented only in Assam and its remote pockets like the Naga Hills, North-East Frontier Agency, and Khasi & Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya.
Those hill areas of Assam have become the present day Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal-Pradesh and Meghalaya States, however, the States of Manipur and Tripura were princely independent kingdoms before their mergers with the Indian Union, he observed.
O Ibobi said his Government needs permission from the Center to implement ILP in the State.
It is to re-implement a previous Act which was repealed by the then Commissioner Himat Singh in 1950, he said.
In 2011, the Assembly had discussed its implementation and taken a private resolution, and again in June 2013, two MLAs I Ibohalbi and Th Shyamkumar had moved private member resolution to urge the Central government to implement the ILP in the interest of the people of Manipur, he said.
We have sent resolutions to the Center from time to time during the UPA regime, he said.
Now as the NDA has come back to power in the Center, the whole process needs to be reset, he said.
During the last three – four month, the State government has been unable to insist upon the Union government, he added.
Ibobi further said that the government had even considered going to New Delhi for pressurising the Central Government for implementation of ILP.
The Government knows the sentiment of the agitators for ILP and our 60 MLAs are elected by the public too.
If necessary, we will also include the members of the ILP Demand Committee in pressurising the Government of India, he said.
He appealed to the students that it is not wise for them to divert their energies to the issue of ILP or any other issue because these crucial days for their study.
Meanwhile, he also clarified on the defunct state of the Manipur Human Rights Commission and said it stopped functioning since 2010.
There was no eligible person for the post of the chairperson after the retirement of Justice W.A. Shishak.
Following the instruction from the Union Law Ministry, the government has engaged the Assam Human Right Commission for holding the dual charge of the State. But it was not possible, O Ibobi continued.
Ibobi underscored in the affirmative that from August onwards, the MHRC will be functional, as informed by the Law Ministry.
Meanwhile, during the Zero hour the Thangmeiband MLA Kh Joykisan drew the attention of the House on the molestation case of girl athletes by an instructor of the Sports Authority of India.
The MLA said, such incidents should not happen in the future, particularly in the field of sports.
The authority concerned has transferred the accused after an FIR was registered against him; however, instead of just transferring him, he must be dismissed from his post, he said before adding that such heinous crime in the sports arena is really unfortunate.
