No rewards for world champs


Akhil Kumar, a World cup bronze medallist in the Beijing Olympics 2008, did not get recognition from his current employers, Indian Railways. This is the sad plight of sportstars in India who bring pride and glory for the nation. After being with the Railways for nine long year, the leading boxer was working as a Group D technician, as he joined, after being promised a Group B job and a designation of assistant commercial manager (ACM). Nothing happened and Akhil Kumar decided to move to Haryana Police. Even, Akhil's colleague Jitender Kumar has also left Railways and joined Haryana Police.
If the administration doesn't promote achievers, they can't encourage youngsters to take to the sports.
