WOMENS VOLLEYBALL - KERALA/INDIA
Kerala Women's Volleyball team defeated Railways recently to win the title. This was the fourth successive title win by Kerala. The performance of women in volleyball is really commendable for several decades. However, we Indians could do nothing in World Volleyball. In Women's Volleyball India ranks 67th with a score of 46. Top ranking teams in the world are, No 1 is USA with a score of 377, No 2 is Brazi with score 366 and 3 is China with 350. It is really surprising and also sorrowful to see that when China can reach to the third slot with a score of 350, India remains at 67 with a paltry score of 46. When our politicians are loudly proclaiming that we are all set to overtake China in GDP, what prevent us to overtake China in the sports arena.
The sports ministries of central and state governments should focus more on bringing India to higher level of competition and achievements. Let the state of Kerala make a beginning. We have a wonderful team in Women's Volleyball. We may develop the existing team and bring up more and more stronger teams fit to compete with top teams of the world. Let Kerala represent India in International level for the time, till others are ready.
May the powerful sports bodies, sports organizations small and big all over the state and all interested individuals may join this rally
