After receiving the nod from the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Uttarakhand is all set to host the 38th National Games in 2018.
This comes at a time when the state has failed to generate funds for the relocation of the 2013 disaster-hit villages. Incidentally, the mega sporting event is estimated to cost around Rs 2,200 crore.
With the shadows of the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games scam still fresh in everyone’s memory, the Harish Rawat government faces a huge challenge in ensuring that the National Games are held in a transparent and corruption-free manner.
CM Harish Rawat faces a huge challenge to ensure that the National Games are held in a transparent and corruption-free manner
Questioned about how the chief minister will ensure that the sporting event is held in a transparent manner, Rawat said: “We will form public monitoring group. I am ready to face both good and the bad experiences for organising the games.”
After the IOA nod, the Uttarakhand government has declared the state sports policy on December 28 in which special focus will be laid on creating sporting infrastructure within a span of five years.
The excitement is already visible with hoardings being put up in different parts of Dehradun thanking the IOA for giving the state the opportunity to host the games.
However, many feel that if the problem of the disaster-hit villages remains unsolved and the state government gives too much attention in preparing for the National Games, it might snowball into a political issue.
Samar Bhandari, Communist Party of India’s national council member, said: “The state government should promote sports but at the same time solve the problems of the disaster-hit villages. In Rudarprayag alone, about 48 villages need to be rehabilitated. The Uttarakhand Olympic Association organised the 2002 state games and after receiving complains about the misuse of government aid, conducted an inquiry. The Harish Rawat government should make the inquiry report public.”
The inquiry into the scam was on for two years and the poor record of the State Olympic Association also casts some doubts about the transparency mechanisms in the state.
The National Games will be hosted at three venues in Uttarakhand - Dehradun, Tehri and Haldwani. Athletes from all over India will fight for top honours in 32 sporting events during the meet.
