Support comes only after success, says HIPSA chief

India's development journey is closely interlinked with the empowerment of its women. Recognising this critical connection, the central government has placed Nari Shakti at the forefront of its agenda, and the focus has been to progress from women-led development to women-led development. However, the orientation towards exclusive women driven sports when compared with mens sports still has some way to go before one can claim parity. According to Kanthi D Suresh, President of the Holistic International Pravasi Sports Association (HIPSA), despite the government's focus on women's sports, the same is yet to percolate into the eco-system as a whole, as most of the time support often arrives once female athletes have already proven their mettle.
