Indian women have slowly emerged to become more independent, strong and athletic over the years. Previously Indian women were confined to only few outdoor activities but now we can find women taking part in almost all kinds of sports. Cricket, Hockey, Volley ball, Badminton, Tennis, Squash, Table tennis, Gymnastics, Olympics and much more, are the sports where Indian women have ventured in.

indian women are talking active participation in sports and this is the reason they are coming up as the most growing glory of the nation. Women are becoming very sporty and they are making their name in the sports field as well apart from other creative fields. She is the self motivated woman and can handle the pressure of sports quite well.

The government has no specific budget for women’s sport. It expects the spending to come from the overall sports budget. The SAI (Sports Authority of India) has numerous schemes but none for women only. Women in Indian sport have struggled to carve a niche for themselves.
