Madhya Pradesh lagging behind states like Haryana and Bihar in providing jobs to medal winners
Rishita Tomar

Despite years of promises, the sports and youth welfare department in Madhya Pradesh has yet to deliver job appointment letters to several Vikram award-winning athletes. The athletes allege that while they were offered government jobs, they have yet to receive their joining letters, and the positions offered are of a lower grade with significantly lower pay compared to other states.

In 2023, the then Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan assured during the inauguration of the Khelo MP Youth Games that no Vikram awardee would be left without a government job. However, this promise remains unfulfilled as many athletes still await their appointments.
