I think they should be given pension like all government employees at retirement age. Till then, they can be given opportunities to teach physical education/sports in the local sports academy or schools in the city/district they hail from. This way they can spread their knowledge/talent to other children in the city and make use of their training and experience. Also, they can be supported with free education throughout their career so they can play as well as take up a main stream job.

I think they should be provided with jobs and in any governmental or in any non governmental organisations. This will lead to economic activity and thus get money. Pension will be a burden on government. Getting money without work may lead to wastage of human resources and can have other consequences as well. Hence as a reward they are to be provided with livelihood since 30 is a young age.

#sportsperson#SchemeofPensionforMeritoriousSportspersons I am not agree with it as because a sports person earn what is not the salary of a IAS officer.Secondly they all get job as they are sports legend.If they get pension,it will bonus for them.Yes those who can't get job like who is an athlete(swimming,boxing,running etc),provide them to job ,as they are fit & healthy to do work.Not to every sports person specially cricketer but to give them who is a sports person but don't have job.Thank you

Sir,
I am of the opinion that the pension for a lifetime is not the true solution for this scheme. please pardon me, but the giving of pension and free gifts kill the very issue of growth and brings in sense of satiation.
Instead, case to case basis pension can be worked out, especially in case of paralysed/injured sportsman. Others can be given grants or job opportunities to derive more good in them and a chance to prosper.
DONT JUST GIVE FISH, TEACH AND GIVE OPPORTUNITY TO FISH
