Gaurav Gautam, said it is a matter of great pride that athletes from the state&nbsp;continue to shine at international platforms such as the Olympics, World Championships, Asian Games, and Commonwealth Games by winning the maximum number of medals. The state government is consistently working to provide better sports facilities to the players and cash awards to boost their morale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He informed that medal winners from Haryana who participated in the&nbsp;4th Para Asian Games&nbsp;2022&nbsp;had requested the release of their cash awards. Responding to their demand, the government has released Rs.&nbsp;19&nbsp;crore,&nbsp;72&nbsp;lakh&nbsp;50&nbsp;thousand for&nbsp;13&nbsp;athletes from various districts and Rs.12&nbsp;crore for four more athletes. As per the state\u2019s policy, gold medal winners are awarded Rs.3&nbsp;crore, silver medal winners receive Rs.1.5&nbsp;crore, and bronze medalists are given Rs.75&nbsp;lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sports Minister said that the state government has formulated a comprehensive sports policy, which is now helping Haryana\u2019s athletes achieve continued success at global levels. Other states across India are also adopting Haryana\u2019s sports policy as a model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further said that para-athletes are a true source of inspiration for the youth. The Haryana government is committed to not only providing financial support to athletes but also covering their medical expenses in case of injuries during sports activities. To nurture young talent, the state has set up&nbsp;1,500&nbsp;sports nurseries, where children are training regularly and winning medals, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haryana Khel Mahakumbh dates to be rescheduled, events to be held in August<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sports Minister also shared that the Haryana Khel Mahakumbh, which was earlier scheduled to be held from July&nbsp;28&nbsp;to&nbsp;30,&nbsp;2025, will now be rescheduled. Since CET and HTET exams are expected to be conducted around the same time, the change in dates is to ensure that candidates and players do not face any inconvenience. He has directed sports officers to make the necessary changes. The Khel Mahakumbh will now be held in August&nbsp;2025, and the new dates will be announced soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandigarh, July&nbsp;18-Minister of State for Sports, Sh.
