players get budget
Baljeet Kaur says that there should not be any kind of financial burden on the player to move forward in his field. For this, the government needs to make a policy. She had also come to seek help from the previous government, in which Vikramaditya, despite not being in power, had reached the ears of the BJP government and received an amount of 3 lakhs. Now a ray of hope has arisen after Vikramaditya became the sports minister. That is why I have come to the Secretariat.
Players are leaving the game due to lack of facilities
Baljit Kaur wants to conquer Mount Everest without oxygen sport system. He said that when she goes on a mission, she does not even know whether she will return or not. If the government makes proper arrangement of funds for the players, then the players of the state will also focus more on making new records. Due to lack of facilities, many players are giving up their sports career, which is a huge failure of the system.
