Haryana Cabinet which met under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister, Manohar Lal has accorded approval regarding the Amendments in the Haryana Outstanding Sportspersons (Group A, B and C) Service Rules, 2021.
As per the new amendments, now “Sports events” means all the events of Sports which will not be limited by weight category. Earlier, the definition of ‘Event’ was not clear in any of the policies/rules of the department.
This amendment has been carried out to benefit those sportspersons whose events are not played in Olympics/Commonwealth/ Asian games but not played in national games/ national championships, by clarifying the definition of sports events. Such sportspersons would now be eligible to apply for appointment in government jobs on the basis of outstanding achievements in sports.
