Badminton development ideas

Ideas for badminton development in India: 

(1)   Allowing  75% FDI for manufacturing of sports equipment

(2)   Allowing 5% FII for foreign companies

(3)   Forming an association of Badminton academies & manufacturers

(4)   Setting up of Sports Technology Exchange Parks where domestic & international companies would be exchanging their technologies with one another

(5)   Starting a scheme where elite badminton players would be required to spend 1 month at their first badminton academy or in badminton academy of any tier 2 city. The players should be given Rs.70,000 incentive

(6)   Creating a national digital database for badminton academies

(7)   Starting national camps in collaboration with badminton powerhouses like Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Dennmark , Thailand  etc. where players who have played less than 7 world tours or less than 2 world championships would be training with elite players of the above mentioned countries

(8)   Starting the Gym khana culture with a badminton twist where 5 to 6 academies of a particular district would be forming collective teams

(9)   BAI can give 50,000 Rs. Incentive for those academies willing to form cooperatives

(10) Using NSE listed companies for investing into PBL instead of using player management firms & glamour world

(11)Setting up a target of building 35 badminton stadiums in next 3 years in the 4 zones of India

(12) Starting a Ranji Trophy kind of a league where state teams would be competing against one another throughout the year. The players performance & consistency would come to the fore with this initiative. Per match can be a draw of 11 matches with 2 matches/category & 1 extra match for men’s singles

(13)Forming a national scouts team where a team of 200 scouts would be assigned the duty to find young emerging talent below age of 15 .

(14)Distributing the players into 2 categories : Elite & Pro . Elite players shall be those who are in top 50 of their respective categories.  They would be given different training by different set of coaches. The pro should consist of those players not  in the top 50 & those players graduating from national championships, juniors here they should be sent to international camps as suggested in point7 along with different training with a new set of coaches

(15)Appointing a different head coach for juniors. Special coaches for doubles
& singles differently can be appointed. If needed a new set of former foreign players can be set up

(16)Starting a team of 250 statisticians or statistics students or data science students where they would be analyzing the game & every match of top 100 foreign  (pairs/players per group) . They shall be responsible in identifying the weak link in  the opponents games using stats method. IF Indians are there in top 100 which many are then that number of extra players should be analyzed who are out of top 100 ( for example : N players are there in top 100 of X category then the 100+N players/pairs  should be analyzed who are out of top 100). This team shall also be responsible for analyzing any 1 game of any Indian player.
