Reportedly, Mr.Prasun had sought a serious look into the game of football by the concerned authorities.

As per the reports by The Hindu, Mr Prasun has been quoted as saying, “Though we appreciate National Education Policy, National Sports academy needs serious care. In fact, there is no coordination the Sports Committees around our nation. Also, there is no proper scheme to appreciate different sports in our country and it is due to lack of awareness among the policymakers”.

The report further quoted his statement, “The activities of the National Football Federation needs to be looked at. I seriously doubt that their activities intend to destroy the game of Football. Because the funds were allocated only to them, not to the actual players on the field. Only roti and subji cannot win the World Cup”.
