No scholarship for baseball players
Chandigarh, December 11 The game, despite being under the sports gradation certificate policy has not been given the status of scholarship scheme, leaving all the baseball players in lurch, for the past many years. Notably, the games kho-kho and kabbadi, which are kept under the non-gradation policy, are entertained under the scholarship. “The Chandigarh Sports Council had recently made an amendment and decided to entertain the game under scholarship. But the sports department is yet to receive the amendment notice. Hopefully, in next financial year the players will be kept under these scholarships and can enjoy the scheme,” said KS Bharti, District Sports Officer of the UT Sports Department. When asked about, the exact reason behind keeping the particular section of players out of this scheme, he added, “I don’t know about the exact reason but I will check its status,” added Bharti. On the other side, the move is being condemned among the sports lovers, “It seems that the officials of the sports department work on their own will, when it comes to make rules or amend. Like others, these baseball players should also be provided with all the facilities. They also represent the same state, play same competition and bring laurels for the same state, so they should be given all the facilities,” said Dr Gurcharan Singh Gill. “The bureaucrats should keep in mind, a player’s perspective while making policies. Moreover, if the game is being entertained under sports gradation certificate policy then why it has been kept away from the scholarship scheme. We are representing the state and we should be benefited like other players,” said Raghu, a player.
