India's Pollution Crisis Threatens Sports and Economy

India's Pollution Crisis Threatens Sports and Economy

India wants to be great at sports and host big events like the Olympics.

But there's a big problem: the air and water are very dirty, especially in cities like New Delhi and Indore.

This dirty air and water make it hard for athletes to train and can make them sick.

It also stops kids from playing outside and makes people poor.

Important people like economists say this pollution is a big problem for India's money and future.

India needs to fix this problem so athletes can train safely, kids can play outside, and everyone can be healthy.
