The Dhronacharya (Lifetime) awardees, who were earlier given 5 lakh rupees will now be given 15 lakh rupees as cash prize, while Dhronacharya (Regular) will be given 10 lakh instead of \u00a05 lakh rupees per awardee. Dhyanchand Awardees will be given 10 lakh rupees instead of 5 lakh rupees.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the decision, Mr. Rijiju said, the prize money for the Sports Awards was last reviewed in 2008.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">He said these amounts should be reviewed once every 10 years at least. He added that if professionals in every field have seen an enhancement in their earnings, sportspersons should also get enhanced earnings.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister was talking to the media after paying floral tributes to hockey wizard Major Dhyanchand at his statue in Dhyan Chand Stadium in Delhi this morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">Rijiju \u00a0congratulated the winners of National Sports Awards for the accolades and honours they brought to India. He said that the performance of Indian athletes at international level has gone up as compared to the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">He stated that well performing athletes have to be recognised and rewarded and therefore, the number of awardees in National Sports Awards has also gone up this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Govt. enhances prize money in Khel Ratna, Arjuna and Dronacharya awards 29-08-2020 | 3:28 pm Share Now Share on Facebook Share on Twitter The prize money in four of the seven categories of the National Sports and Adventure Awards has been enhanced.
