ABSTRACT

An important factor affecting sports development in India has been a longstanding issue with deploying policy initiatives introduced as early as 2001. Consequently, this paper explores policies implemented in India till today, highlighting two main issues; inadequate consideration of certain aspects of policy formulation and lack of effective implementation. Policy transfer is then explored as an option to overcome formulation issues of lack of feasibility, financial assistance and knowledge. The success of policy transfer (both external and internal) would, however, depend on how effectively India manages to implement the policies. India can formulate the best policies but, if they are not implemented effectively, the return might remain low. Consequently, we highlight the need for India to prioritise effective policy implementation whilst considering policy transfer as an option to overcome formulation issues.

摘要

影响印度体育发展的一个重要因素是部署早在 2001 年推出的政策举措的长期问题。因此，本文探讨了印度至今实施的政策，突出了两个主要问题；对政策制定的某些方面考虑不足，缺乏有效执行。然后探索政策转移作为克服缺乏可行性、财政援助和知识的制定问题的一种选择。然而，政策转移（外部和内部）的成功将取决于印度如何有效地实施这些政策。印度可以制定最好的政策，但如果不能有效实施，回报可能仍然很低。最后，
