Maken sanctions ex gratia assistance of Rs five lakh to archery player | Union Sports Minister Ajay Maken has sanctioned ex gratia of Rs. five lakh to Nisha Rani Dutta, an archery player from National Welfare Fund for sportspersons. Dutta is living in indigent condition. The Ministry came
to know through a news item that Dutta, an archery player, who has played in National and International archery competitions, was forced to sell her bow to repair her
mud house. Taking cognizance of her poor financial position, Maken has sanctioned
this ex-gratia. Under the Scheme of National Welfare Fund for Sportspersons, the
Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports provides lump sum financial assistance to
outstanding sportspersons of the past, who are facing financial distress.
