Abstract:
“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions, so we have to know how to act” by “Swami Vivekananda”. The present study investigated the portrayal of female’s sports and the approaches of media towards the participation of female in sports at Tripura. 300 Female athletes from different discipline sports who have represented Tripura at National Level had been selected from 8 districts of Tripura and their age ranges from 16-20 years. As it was survey study, a self-constructed questionnaire was used in the study. The five point rating scale has been used in this questionnaire for scoring purposes. Questions (statements) covered the main aspects medial role in print media, electronic media, highlighting the exploitation, their coverage, and their way of promoting news. The findings of the study reveal that most of the respondents were in favour of media but some respondents receive disproportionately responses. Keeping this response in consideration, it is the duty of the researcher to examine the issue carefully and highlighting the importance of media role in considering the female sports in Tripura. This will take an ideological and symbolic change in society and sports at all levels.
