This paper explores the impact of government funding and policies on women's sports performance, with a particular focus on the differences between India and developed countries such as the United States, Great Britain, China, and Australia. By comparing the sports budgets, policies for women's participation, and infrastructure development in these countries, the research highlights the significant factors that either promote or hinder women athletes’ success on the global stage. The paper also provides recommendations for improving women’s sports policies in developing countries like India to enhance participation and success in international sports competitions.
