The government proposes to provide free education for sports persons, who won medals in the recently concluded Commonwealth Games for the entire duration of their studies. The expenditure on education for school-going and college-going students will be borne by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the University Grants Commission (UGC). Official sources said in New Delhi that the UGC has already constituted a Committee to frame the guidelines and modalities to implement the scheme– Free Education for Commonwealth Games Medal Winners– so that the maximum number of sportspersons who won medals in the Commonwealth Games are benefited. AIR Correspondent reports that the CBSE is offering Chacha Nehru Sports awards of 6,000 rupees each for outstanding sportspersons and for athletes, who set new records in 15 different disciplines during its annual sports and games competitions.
