Mangalore, Feb 27: State sports and youth affairs minister Goolihatti Shekar discussed a plan to institute new awards for achievers, who were deprived of national recognition for their achievements in games and sports fields.  

Speaking to reporters in this regard on his visit to Mangala Stadium here on Saturday February 27, minister said that outstanding personalities in sports and games, who miss out on the national level recognition, at least need to be honoured at the state-level. Mulling over setting up award equivalent to Ekalavya award, he said that the issue need to be discussed. Every year one sports personality should be awarded Chief Minister’s award, while the other two sports minister’s award. The criteria for the award should include recognition at the district-level, from the public and media.

    When we will watch an ICC ODI/Test/20/20 cricket matchs in Mangalore.Mr Minister of sports& youth affairs,it is really a shame a queen city/devoloped city and hub of export/import center,Mangalore have no Intl std stadium,Swmimming Pool ect ect.Therefore,before mulling over institution of new sports awards, pls make available infrastructure of sports to enhance sports activity of citizens of Karnataka.

    As far as youth affairs concerned,more grants would be given to all Yuvaka Mandals of Karnataka as these non profit associations helps to spread social work and coexistance in the society.I would like to give an instance of amazing service by a yuvaka mandala,SWASTIKA of Bantawal Taluk arranged a massive mass wedding last week which is worth to mention.
