The director of the State Sports department Prashant Arya said that approximately 1,200 special sports volunteers would be deployed for the upcoming 38th National Games. “These volunteers will be provided to Uttarakhand through the National Federation of Sports (NFS) in India. In addition, Uttarakhand will select around 2,300 general volunteers at its own level,” he added.

It is, however, important to note that the special sports volunteers will be distinct from the general volunteers. “Both types of volunteers will receive training in behaviour and etiquette,” he said. 

The special sports volunteers will have a background in sports and experiences in national and international competitions. So they will be given sports-related responsibilities. The general volunteers, on the other hand, will handle various logistical arrangements such as parking and assisting guests. 

Prateek Joshi, who is overseeing the volunteer operations, said that the special sports volunteers would receive an honorarium of Rs 1,000 per day while the daily honorarium for the general volunteers has been set at Rs 500. 

Notably, both types of volunteers will play a crucial role in making all necessary arrangements for the mega sports event. Currently, the recruitment process for general volunteers is underway with over 30,000 people having registered to become volunteers. All registered individuals have completed online training after appearing in the online examination. Volunteers will be selected on the basis of their examination results.
