00:00Sikkim Sniper is the biggest legend of football in the country.
00:04We are with Baichung Boogia.
00:06They will be able to know their journey,
00:09and what's going on in their life.
00:12First of all, thank you very much.
00:14Thank you very much.
00:16First of all, you will be able to come to the Khorba Jilin.
00:19You will be able to come to the Tribal Jilin as well.
00:21You will be able to come to the Sports Academy.
00:23What kind of situation has happened to you?
00:25What kind of situation has happened to you?
00:27In fact, the Khorba Jilin has started the Khorba Jilin Academy.
00:33It is a great initiative.
00:35I think there is a lot of talent.
00:39There are talented kids.
00:41There is an academy in four or five spots.
00:44There is a platform and opportunity.
00:48I think it is a great initiative.
00:52Because I think UWA is a younger generation.
00:56If you engage in social media,
00:58especially in the era of social media,
01:00and our country is a very young country.
01:04It is the world, the UWA is the only one in India.
01:06So UWA is the right channel.
01:08It is one of the spots.
01:10In the spots,
01:12the people who are doing this is a great initiative.
01:16It is a great initiative.
01:18Sir, I would like to know about your journey.
01:20Because you have come to a small place.
01:22And you have represented in 100 matches.
01:24You have represented in India.
01:25It is also a world record.
01:26Then you have found a world record.
01:27So tell us a little bit about your journey.
01:28Tell us about your journey.
01:29How do you have to do this?
01:30My journey is our journey.
01:32I am from Sikkim.
01:34I was very fortunate to have a sports author of India scholarship.
01:43I got a chance to take a serious opportunity in football.
01:47Then I played in India under 16.
01:51After playing in India,
01:55I was the biggest football club in the country.
01:59I got a professional and G1 footballer.
02:05I got an opportunity for a professional and G1 footballer.
02:07Then I played in India for 2-3 years.
02:11I also played for senior India for 2-3 years.
02:13I got an opportunity for that.
02:17Then I got an opportunity for nearly 16 years into India.
02:21I got an opportunity for 18 and for the captain.
02:23So it was a good journey.
02:25Obviously, my work was a discipline.
02:28But there was a good luck.
02:32There was a good luck in the world.
02:34There was a right time in the world.
02:35There was a lot of changes in football.
02:38There was a lot of professionalism in football.
02:40So I also had a good luck.
02:43And I went to my work and hard work in the world.
02:46I got a chance to achieve that.
02:48I got a chance to achieve that.
02:51I got a chance to achieve that.
02:53Sir, when you have taken away from international football,
02:56what routine was there?
02:58What routine was there?
02:59What routine was there?
03:00What did you do in the IIMG?
03:01There was a lot of change.
03:03Because when you play a professional,
03:04it was good.
03:05You know the timing and your time table.
03:09You know the most important thing to train.
03:11You always had to be a fit.
03:12But after you retired your time,
03:15you didn't stay like a club.
03:17Because you could keep your friends.
03:19I don't have friends to play a club, so I still have an active fit for my age.
03:31After that, obviously, I am doing a lot of different work.
03:35I am doing a lot of football and academies, but I am working in a lot of hospitality sectors.
03:43With an NGO, I am very active. We are working on sustainable tourism.
03:50We focus on the rural and village tourism.
03:57We have worked with the Federation and the Government of India-Bharat,
04:04and also in an advisory committee.
04:11We have worked a lot for 2-3 years.
04:14In SAI Sports Authority of India, I have been in a governing body for many years.
04:21We have worked with a lot of football career.
04:25If we go to European countries, if we compare it to European countries,
04:31then we are not able to make that place in our country.
04:34What do you think about it?
04:37See, I think, our lifestyle and India, I think, recently, we are improving the economy-wise.
04:48We are now in the third largest GDP and economy.
04:53So, I think, our country is also in the transition phase.
04:57We have been in the first place as a lot.
05:08Many people had focused on it every time.
05:11Everyone had focused on it every day.
05:16We had to create a future.
05:17We were in the second place as a club.
05:20We were in the second place.
05:21We are in the second place.
05:23We are also in the second place.
05:25If we want to make a place for a country, we want to create a place, an environment, a sporting culture.
05:32Wherever we go, we will discuss the spots, we will be playing, we will be playing, we will be watching.
05:38We will be sitting at home and watch a sports channel at night.
05:41We need to create a place and environment and it is slowly happening.
05:46So I think that it will be possible.
05:48We have taken a lot of cricket but unfortunately, cricket is not an Olympic sport.
05:55We play a lot of countries.
05:59And we have a full focus on cricket.
06:06So I think that it is very important to other sports.
06:11I think that it will be possible to see changes in the world standard.
06:16So I think that it will be possible to see changes in the world standard.
06:21As you mentioned about cricket, do you think that it has been a lot of people on cricket?
06:26That is why the rest of the games are lost.
06:28And what should the governments and the associations of the game?
06:34I think that the rest of the sports are not able to give the results.
06:40Because in the world cup, you will see a T20 or a one day international world cup.
06:52So there are four teams of the team.
06:54There are four teams of the team in the world.
06:56The competition level is less and India is good.
06:59But if the rest of the team is good, I believe that the rest of the team is good for other sports.
07:11But the rest of the team is very limited to success.
07:15The rest of the team has taken a lot of badminton and tennis.
07:17But I think that the Indians also want to want to come to the other sports.
07:26So whenever they come, I have also seen it.
07:29I have also experienced it.
07:30I have also experienced it.
07:31When it's a team of the best, I think that the whole country is behind them.
07:36And it's supported.
07:37But they want to give the results.
07:39They can give them results.
07:41They can give them results now.
07:43So unfortunately, as I said, I have also mentioned that it's not a Olympic sport in India.
07:49And they cannot participate in a medal in the Olympics.
07:52I think that if other sports have been successful,
07:58then definitely following and interest will remain.
08:02Until they have not successful at the international level,
08:06then if there are any other sports fans,
08:10then if they don't support the associate or support,
08:15then they will have a problem.
08:17So I think that the results of other sports are very important.
08:21Sir, you've been able to do it for many days.
08:24Now, you've taken the responsibility of the government.
08:26Is there anything else that you can do in football?
08:30No, I think India,
08:32India is not in all the world.
08:34I think there is politics in any sector.
08:38And I think that every young generation needs to be an awareness.
08:43Because the government is given by the government,
08:46the government is taking policies,
08:48and the government is taking policies.
08:50It is very important.
08:51So, I had a chance to do it.
08:53After doing it, I thought that it is not my feeling.
08:57So, now I am completely out of 3-4 years.
09:00I am focused on my sports.
09:02And I am focused on my personal work.
09:07So, yes, I think it is important for the country.
09:13If there is a right right right, political leaders,
09:16and policies,
09:17then I think we will take the growth of the country.
09:22and we will take it.
09:23But the involvement, I think,
09:24should be involved in every individual.
09:27And because of the contribution,
09:28we all blame the government.
09:31But the contribution is also very important.
09:36One more question.
09:38Sir, today's youngster,
09:39who want to achieve their career in sports,
09:43what would you like to give them a message?
09:45I think,
09:46what has been 20 years ago,
09:49and the situation in sports is very different.
09:53Now, there are so many leagues.
09:55And in those leagues,
09:56you can see cricket as well.
10:00Cricket was only playing in India.
10:02You can become a good career without India.
10:07So, I think with that,
10:08a lot of leagues have also come in football,
10:10badminton,
10:11including Kabaddi.
10:13So, for generations,
10:15there is a great opportunity for generations.
10:17If you have a talent,
10:19and you have a great talent,
10:21then you can definitely make a good career
10:23in sports in India.
10:25And of course,
10:26the sports industry is growing.
10:27The government of India is promoting a lot of sports.
10:31The government of India is promoting a lot of sports.
10:32The government of the current government is trying to get a lot of sports.
10:36And I think,
10:38in sports,
10:39there is a lot of government initiatives
10:41and they want to push sports.
10:42And this year,
10:43the budget of India has increased a lot of money.
10:46So,
10:47the future is good.
10:48And I think,
10:49the future is good.
10:50As young generation,
10:51you can do the work with talent,
10:53and sincerity.
10:54And you can perform with talent.
10:56So,
10:57I think,
10:58the future of India is a great future.
11:00I think,
11:01it's a great future in India.
11:03In sports,
11:04we are talking about
11:05Baichung Bhutia Ji.
11:06They have developed their thoughts.
11:07And today,
11:08they believe that,
11:09if you have talent,
11:10and work,
11:11there are no opportunities.
11:12not even in the future.
11:13It's not in the future.
11:14It's not in the future.
11:15The future of India is a great future.
11:16It's not in the future.
