Will India make it through for 2020 Olympics??

Yesterday, when I was watching the grand opening ceremony of Olympics in Beijing, I was highly astonished to see such a extravagant event being presented by the Chinese, China had world at it's feet for the eve, I couldn't deny that I felt bit envious while watching the big bash. Soon I have found that India is bidding for 2020 Olympics. Earlier Indian Olympics Association (IOA) had decided to bid for 2014 Asian games & 2016 Olympics. But IOA given up with the unsuccessful bid for 2014 Asian games. They were planned to utilize the infrastructure being developed in Delhi for preceding 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Even as the Beijing Olympics 2008 got underway on Friday, Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram expressed hope that India would be able to stage the Olympic Games in 2020. It will be a proud movement for every Indian if we make it through. But at the same time its a big challenge, since hosting a Olympics is a extravagant affair and lot of money is need to be poured on it. Along with its going to test our event management skills, especially on the silhouette of the terrorist activities happened past days. India need to underwent a lot of reformation to successfully stage the Olympics. The India 2020 which is dreamed by former President Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam is need to be made into reality. Right now we are rampaging in every sectors except the Infrastructure. This is the only arena where we are still crawling in mediocrity. Infrastructure boom is necessary, since its the base for every industry. A boom in infrastructure will eventually flourish the other sectors also. It will attract more and more foreign investors, which will also increase the employment opportunities in India. Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram asserted that "India has a great future because of its people who are its greatest strength, he said the younger generation is confident and full of ideas, hope, pride, enthusiasm and ambition", while speaking in a function. But we need to create the opportunities to utilize above mentioned qualities. So by keeping all this in mind we need to put our best foot forward & make this dream come true.

I will follow up more on this in my upcoming blogs.
