Amitabh Kant (IAS), Board Member, PGTI, Ex-G20 Sherpa, govt of India and former CEO of NITI Aayog; Atul Chaturvedi (IAS), Member, NCLT and Former Secretary, govt of India; and Amandeep Johl, CEO, PGTI, highlighted the opportunities to expand golf

Indias Demographic Advantage Can Produce World-class Golfers, Says PGTI Board Member Amitabh Kant
PGTI Board Member Amitabh Kant: Making golf accessible in tier-two and tier-three cities can build Indias next generation of golfing talent, and the country can produce world-class players in the next decade, says Amitabh Kant, Board Member of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), on Saturday. Driven by its young population, wider access to the sport, stronger grassroots infrastructure and greater international exposure for Indian players, India has the potential to produce world-class golfers over the next decade, said leaders of PGTI at a media interaction on the sidelines of the India Championship at Delhi Golf Club. Amitabh Kant (IAS), Board Member, PGTI, Ex-G20 Sherpa, Govt of India & Former CEO of NITI Aayog; Atul Chaturvedi (IAS), Member, NCLT and Former Secretary, Govt of India; and Amandeep Johl, CEO, PGTI, highlighted the opportunities to expand golfs reach across India, strengthen the countrys presence in international competition and establish India as a destination for golf tourism. Drawing parallels with Indias journey in cricket, Amitabh Kant, Board Member, DP World PGTI, said, India has established itself in world cricket, and we are now beginning a similar journey in golf. Golf is entering an exciting phase in the country. This is a rare opportunity. The crowds coming to watch some of the worlds best golfers will inspire young Indians to take up the game. Our demographics are in our favour, and I believe the next decade can produce Indian golfers who will compete and win on the world stage. Stressing the need to make the game more accessible, Kant added, Golf has often been seen as an elitist sport, but that perception is changing. Tier-two and tier-three cities can produce some of our best golfers. He pointed to a strong response from Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, and cited the Chhattisgarh Governments efforts to promote golf and develop facilities for young players. If young boys and girls from tribal communities get those opportunities, there is no reason they cannot become exceptional golfers. Over the next 10 years, we want to see the game flourish across India and our players win global tournaments, he further added. Kant urged large enterprises to follow DP Worlds lead in supporting golf. He also suggested that 25 per cent of college and university admissions be based on sporting merit, using clear criteria such as state representation, so that athletes can continue their education while competing. Highlighting Indias potential to attract international golf tourists, Atul Chaturvedi, Member, NCLT and Former Secretary, Govt of India, said, I believe India has excellent golf courses and supporting infrastructure. What we need is stronger branding. India offers exceptional value as a golfing destination, both in terms of its courses and the cost of playing. Just as India has developed as a destination for health tourism, there is an opportunity to build golf tourism. Amandeep Johl outlined the tours efforts to strengthen international competition. These include inviting players from the Sunshine, Korean, Thai and Japan Tours, adding more co-sanctioned events with the Asian Tour and the HotelPlanner Tour, and funding Indian players to compete at overseas qualifying schools. Referring to Indias 1983 Cricket World Cup triumph, Amandeep Johl, CEO, DP World PGTI, said, The 1983 Cricket World Cup changed what India believed it could achieve. We are working towards a similar moment in golf. It could happen at the DP World India Championship, the Indian Open or somewhere else. We cannot predict it, but we can keep creating opportunities. Amandeep Johl outlined the tours efforts to strengthen international competition. These include inviting players from the Sunshine, Korean, Thai and Japan Tours, adding more co-sanctioned events with the Asian Tour and the HotelPlanner Tour, and funding Indian players to compete at overseas qualifying schools.

England, Pakistan And Sri Lanka Build Up To World Cup With ODI Tri-Series
England, Sri Lanka and hosts Pakistan meet in a one-day international tri-series starting in Rawalpindi from Sunday as they build up to next year's 50-over World Cup. With the global tournament -- co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia -- a little under a year away, Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi described the series as vital. It will be important we do well as the focus will be on the World Cup and we need to get good preparations, Shaheen said ahead of his team's opener, against Sri Lanka on Sunday. While all three sides are former World Cup champions, their recent results are less encouraging. Pakistan, champions in 1992, have not qualified for the ODI World Cup semi-finals since 2011 and finished fifth at the last World Cup in India three years ago. England won the title at home in 2019 but fared miserably in 2023, coming seventh. The 1996 champions Sri Lanka were no better. Pakistan will see the return of ace batsman Babar Azam after he was not selected for the Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka which finished last week with Pakistan winning 2-1. England skipper Harry Brook said: It's a great opportunity against two very strong sides and will hold us in good stead, and if we play the final it will show us where we stand, said Brook, whose team meet Pakistan on Tuesday. All teams play each other twice before the top two clash in the October 31 final in Lahore. England are without star batter Jos Buttler (injured) and fast bowler Jofra Archer (rested). But they are on the back of three successive ODI series wins -- two against Sri Lanka and one over India. Sri Lankan skipper Kusal Mendis was in positive mood. We have plans in place (towards the World Cup) and I hope the team shows some good progress, said Mendis. Tri-series schedule: Oct 18: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Rawalpindi Oct 20: Pakistan vs England - Rawalpindi Oct 22: England vs Sri Lanka - Rawalpindi Oct 25: Pakistan vs England - Lahore Oct 27: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka - Lahore Oct 29: England vs Sri Lanka - Lahore Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Oct 31: Final - Lahore

They urged citizens, particularly young people, to follow traffic rules, wear helmets and seat belts, avoid reckless driving and ensure timely access to medical care in emergencies. The speakers highlighted trauma as a major public health challenge and called for coordinated efforts by the administration, healthcare institutions, educational organisations and civil society to strengthen trauma care services and improve road safety awareness. Through the initiative, OSAK reiterated its commitment to preventive healthcare, community engagement and public education. The event conveyed the message: Every life matters, every preventable injury counts, and every responsible action can save a life. The organisers, Dr Iftikhar Wani, Dr Ansarul Haq Lone and Dr Mudasir Malik, thanked the participants, volunteers, sponsors and supporters for contributing to the success of the event. The programme concluded with an appeal to the public to make road safety a personal responsibility and work collectively towards reducing preventable injuries, disabilities and deaths in Kashmir.
