Gender parity in sports will need focused planning & training (The Times of India Blog)

Surprisingly, the story is not same in kabaddi, where 15% of men and 11% of women participate in the sport. Data shows that 15% of women play cricket compared to 25% of the men in India, indicating the huge gender inequality in cricket. The scenario for Women’s cricket just got more lucrative with a women’s IPL expected to be announced in 2023. Performance is bigger than any policy while motivating these girls aspiring to be sports personalities—however, the government and academies need to take cognizance of the situation and push Sports education as a curriculum for girl child and create an ecosystem that can encourage more girls to get professionally trained. Of these 42% of men and only 29% of women engage in sports. Success in this field and various career options going ahead is something that the parents and guardians understand.
