Big Sporting Events: A Boon or a Curse

Rahul Kumar Jha

Any big sports event organized well can be boon and bring cheers and if not organized well can be a curse on people and add to misery of the people of hosting nation. Any big sporting event such as Olympic games, Asian Games, Commonwealth games and similar events in a country is bound to stimulate economic growth there as it is associated with activity such as construction & development of infrastructure and other facilities which stimulates demand of material resources like cement, metals, oil, gas and many other items related to infrastructure development and different type of services during this event which contributes to overall development of the area around which this event happens.
