Each awardee was given ₹5 lakh as a cash award along with Bhim Statue, tie, blazer, and citations
Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatraya on Thursday conferred Bhim Awards to 52 players of Haryana for their striking achievements in the sphere of sports.
Mr. Dattatraya said that Haryana has made an indelible mark in the field of sports and owing to an outstanding sports policy of the State Government apart from the international standard of sports infrastructure, the players of Haryana have brought glory to the country at international and national sports events.
“Other Governments are also looking forward to replicating our sports policy in their States. Haryana emerged as overall champion in the recently concluded Khelo India Youth Games-2021 by clinching 137 medals, which is a matter of pride for us,” he said.
The Bhim Award Felicitation ceremony was organised on the occasion of International Olympic Day at Indradhanush Auditorium in Panchkula. Each awardee was given ₹5 lakh as a cash award along with Bhim Statue, tie, blazer, and citations. They will also be given ₹5000 per month as an honorarium.
Sports Minister Sandeep Singh previously awards were distributed on political recommendation but now the present government in the State has ensured that awards are given in a completely transparent manner.
“While nominating a candidate we invite objections, if any, on the digital platform so that complete transparency is ensured,” he said. He added that the Haryana government has decided to open four sports rehabilitation centers in the State which will be equipped with facilities matching international standards.
“The government has increased the diet allowance to ₹400 which is the highest in the country To further enhance the stature of sports in the state, 1,100 sports nurseries have been set up,” the governor said.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
