Model Answer
Two ways to improve women's participation in sports leadership roles:
- Reservation of seats/positions for women in sports governing bodies and committees, similar to the one-third reservation provided in Panchayati Raj bodies, can ensure fair representation.
- Removing gender discrimination in pay and opportunities — as the Equal Remuneration Act mandates equal wages for equal work, equal resources and recognition should be provided to women in sports administration and leadership.

Explanation
The question is not directly addressed in the textbook, but the source passages ground the answer in two key ideas from Chapter 3: (1) legal reservation as a tool (used in Panchayati Raj, now Women's Reservation Act 2023) and (2) combating wage/recognition discrimination (Equal Remuneration Act). Examiners expect you to apply these concepts to the context given. Avoid vague answers like "awareness campaigns" — link to specific mechanisms from the chapter.
