“The Tokyo Olympics is in 4 years but we can't lose time, hence it's important to speed up the preparation as if it's just 1 year away. Do share your suggestions,” Vijay Goel had written on his Twitter account on Wednesday. This is perhaps the first time the Sports Ministry have opened themselves up to public suggestions, and it did create a lot of engagement on the social media.
Although it is yet to be seen as to how these suggestions are actually implemented, it is a good start none the less, especially after the dismal performance by the nation’s largest-ever Olympic contingent at Rio.
Here are some of the suggestions Vijay Goel has received:
Yes, Shortlist probables now, send them for preparation camps, hold competitions, finalise the list 2yrs frm nw
— Ashwani (@ash7bhargav)
Yes, have already discussed with Finance Minister too to double the annual budget in order to implement many projects.

get the best athletes /ex athletes in each sport or discipline and seek their advices. Most stadiums are under utilised by SAI
— Rakesh ManpaT (@forglori)
india must start focusing on players like Neeraj chopra , lakshya etc give them foreign exposure and better coach

just select 50 best medal hopes, &invest what is required to bring best out of those. Sure 20 medals.

An Indian sportsman's success depends on whom he knows rather than how he plays. Change that and you will get medals .

incentives systems need to be implemented for SAI officials to get out of their rotten chairs and nurture n find talent !

Definitely, equestrian sport is something we must explore and work to promote it.
— Vijay Goel (@VijayGoelBJP)
Will soon launch Sports Talent Hunt portal enabling young players from across India to share their info & we will groom accordingly.
— Vijay Goel (@VijayGoelBJP)
However, some of the fans took this opportunity to troll the minister, especially after his recent gaffe at the Rio Olympics.
Sir, here is my suggestion. Please allow only the athletes to travel, Netas must stay at home. Don't repeat Rio
— Hrishikesh Sandilya (@HSrains)
. Please resign.!
