In the program, Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said about the preparations of Indian players in the Olympics. He also disclosed the reasons for changing the name of the Sports Authority of India. He said that the players in the previous government lacked facilities but our government has worked to provide every modern facility to the players.

Sports Minister Rajyavardhana Rathore said that the reason behind changing the name of the Sports Authority of India (SAI) to Sports India is that when a player complains that an official of the authority is not listening to them and threatens to take the player out of the academy, then the misery comes. Authority is for the service of the players and their work is to remove complaints. For this reason, we have decided to remove the word 'Authority' from the SAI.

Rajyavardhana said that SAI's name was not only changed but the attitude of working has also been changed. He said that this is the reason why the name has been changed in the last year before that they have changed the way SAI's works. They alleged that at the time of the Congress players had a lack of facilities, opportunities, training but our government has done it all by doing this. He said earlier there were the different scale for the salary of the Indian coach and the foreign coach but now it has been decided to give equal pay to the foreign indigenous coaches.

On hearing the problems faced by the players, Rajyavardhana said that international level players so far have my personal number. Apart from this, a team of SAI has been employed in this work to send the problems of the players to the officers and directly to me. Rathore said that we are also going to create a mobile app for this, which will work to connect the players travelling overseas directly to Sports Ministry and Sports India. This system can bind the bureaucracy in the game.
