Mr Sandeep Dutt began his presentation at Maidan Summit 2011 with saying that there is development when there is sport. He held sport to be the most adaptable and successful youth empowerment tools. Talking about the education system, he said that education gives 25% of what one is and the remaining comes from practice. He highlighted the need for taking up the responsibility of the under-25 youth in the country, which forms a major part of the population for India. He said that the fundamental nature of sport used for development should focus on improvement of individual ability, be secular and non-competitive, and involve voluntary, willful participation. He further added that sport equips one for life through adventure, service and skills.
