The Sports department has not provided jobs to any medal winning player of the 38th National Games till date. In response to a question which was not taken up during the question hour, Sports and Youth Welfare minister Rekha Arya said jobs have not been provided to any player due to lack of vacant posts in departments. Kapkot MLA Suresh Gadiya had put a question in which he asked about the number of medal winning players given jobs by the government.
Arya said that the process of creation of vacancy in different departments has been initiated by the Sports department. It is pertinent to mention here that the Uttarakhand government had announced that the medal winners in the 38 National Games held in Uttarakhand will be provided jobs in the grade as per the medal won by them.
In her written reply Arya said no player has been sent to the institutions outside the State for training. She however added that the State government has prepared a Sports Legacy plan in which high level training will be provided to the players so that they can win medals in different national and international sports events.
