Imphal, March 03:
Manipuri Students' Federation (MSF) expressed dissatisfaction over State Government policy of ignoring sportspersons who got one or two gold medals in National Games from providing employment.
The students body said that the Government provided employment to only those sportsperons who bagged three to four gold medals.
As it is not possible to clinch more than one gold medal by a single person in the disciplines like judo, weightlifting, handball and football, such policy of the State Government may discourage the morale of the sportspersons playing in the disciplines, MSF added.
The students body added that talented sportspersons from these disciplines have not been provided anything except the incentives given during the reception function.
MSF urged the Government to encourage various sportsperons of the State equally by formulating a policy.
