Well....Its a sport council buddy and it can't help the economic growth of the country.But it can lend its hand for social cause by donating a piece of money to charity which itslf will be a big amnt.It can surely help in sports development in the country.

IPL helps only the players and the big companies.

Cricket and economic growth.......well there doesnt seem to be any connection between these two mammoth terms ......its like east can never meet west......
Sharad Pawar....BCCI head is also the agri minister.....figures themselves speak what he has done for cricket and agriculture....

and IPL is a big business bet for players, top companies, media and BCCI-THE CASH RICH SPORT BODY IN D WORLD.......who doesnt want to donate any amount for welfare of other sports in India.....see Hockey where it is heading to....(our National Sport)

well IPL can thus just develop cricket and only cricket......forget other sports and economic growth is way behind.

What i feel is that IPL is no doubt a business where the people with big pockets that just multiply their money,
BCCI also is just supporting and encouraging Cricket only,

But then if u see from the other side then,

If u see then the start of IPL has given employment to so many individuals who can work, it has also supported the Media of the country to grow as the TRP rates of the channels have gone up tremendously, which is indirectly going to earn revenues for the government in some way or the other,

where as, the BCCI are only giving the people of India wat they want to see and that is entertainment,

where as BCCI has also stated that it is going to promote the National Sport that is Hockey by the profits that it earns from the IPL so that the people of the country also gain more amount of interest in it also,

At the end i would just like to ask one simple question

If sports are not providing growth to the government that why does the government promote it? IPL being claimed as the costliest Cricket tournament in the world is of course going to earn huge revenues for the government...

hi there.... its a nice view point.... but let me just ask u one thing ... what about the others?????? .... u see because of the popularity of cricket other sports always suffered... and with all the money and glamour added in IPL by stars and businessmen... it has reached a new pinnacle..... but had such an boost or step taken for other sports ... maybe then india would hav been popular for other sports also.....

we can't ignore other sports or sportsmen for a few players or a single format of a game.... its true that it sells and its a big business.... but there are bigger issues than simply making money...... that's just my point of view

Its a sports governing body and it dont think it will help the economy of our country.It can help in developing other sports in our country.It can use it for charities as well.

IPL, Is a big marketing game. A lot corporate money will exchange hands. All what a common man gets is some entertainment. It will not help in the development of economy. It's all showbiz.....
