The sports activities ministry on Thursday introduced the discontinuation of the Dhyan Chand Award for lifetime achievement from this yr onwards and the introduction of the Arjuna Award Lifetime as an alternative in a bid to “rationalise” the assorted sporting honours of the nation. Instituted in 2002, the Dhyan Chand Lifetime Award, named after hockey wizard Major Dhyan Chand, is given to people in disciplines which are a part of the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games, amongst others.

In 2023, the award was given to former shuttler Manjusha Kanwar, ex-hockey exponent Vineet Kumar and kabaddi participant Kavitha Selvaraj.

“The various schemes for sports awards have been rationalised wherein Arjuna Award (Lifetime) has been introduced in place of Dhyan Chand Award. To recognise the efforts of coaches at grassroots/development level, they are now eligible for the Dronacharya Award,” mentioned a ministry assertion.

“The Arjuna Award (Lifetime) has been introduced and will be given for life time contribution to sports development.

“Further, to acknowledge the Khelo India scheme, the Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad (MAKA) Trophy can be given to the University for Overall Top Performance in Khelo India University Games,” it added.

The final date for making use of for the nationwide sports activities awards for 2024 is November 14.
