"Sports must be inculcated in children at a very young age in school. It is important that marks should be given for participation in sports. It's only then that India will be able to take part as a major force in the international arena, with confidence and positivity," Neetu said in a statement. 
 
 
"With our huge population, if the kids are trained from their school time, we have the capability of creating Olympians," she added,
