  • The Indian government launched a new scheme named ‘Khelo India’ by combining some old schemes with some new objectives.
  • The main objective of this scheme was to establish excellence in sports by creating a larger popular platform.
  • The scheme also aimed at creating interest among the students about sports from early days in schools and to increase girl’s participation in sports.
  • For the development of sports, the ‘National Development Fund’ was established and donation to this fund is eligible for 100% exemption of income tax.
  • The Indian Government gives various awards for different sports each year. Some of them are the ‘Arjun Award’, ‘Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, Lifetime Achievement Award, Dronacharya’, etc.
  • ₹ 75,00,000 was given to the player who wins the gold medal in Olympics. Similarly visually impaired are given a good amount of rewards and jobs.
  • There is a provision of pension for a retired sportsperson. A winner of the Olympics is given a pension of ₹ 20,000 since 2018 and the winner of the Asian games gets ₹ 12,000 per month.
  • In this way, the Indian government launched various schemes for making the youth aware of sports as a life career.
