Author(s): Deepak, Naveen Kumar and Anmol Yadav
Abstract:In India, health and sanitation in sports and promotion of sports are major concerns and are high on the GOI's (Government of India) agenda for the country's growth and development. The importance of health and sanitation and its current state in India are discussed in this article. Sanitation is interwoven with different areas of development, including economic losses due to lack of sanitation, health issues, aesthetic appearance for tourists, and so on. The Union Budget allocated more than 2.23 lakh crore for the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for the financial year 2020-2021. These huge budgetary allocations imply that Indian Government views this area as a crucial parameter for the country's progress. The interrelationship between health and drinking water sources is examined referring to the Arsenic and Lead poisoning found in various regions in Indi such as West Bengal, Bihar, Delhi, Mumbai etc. In this article we will see that through sports and games various policies have been run by the GOI which will promote health and sanitation in the rural and urban areas.
