Paralympians Kapil Parmar and Prachi Yadav have decided to return the Arjuna Award.
,
Saying this, there is resentment on Paralmpian Kapil Parmar’s face. Kapil, who won the bronze medal in the Paris Paralympics 2024, was promised by the Madhya Pradesh government to give one crore more jobs. They got money, but did not get the job. For a government job, he has been traveling to ministers and officers for a year. Similarly, Paralympian and Vikram Award winner Prachi Yadav has also decided to return the Arjuna Award.
On the other hand, Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Vishwas Sarang said- Handrade percentage will give both the players. We want to give him a job as a gazetted officer, so it is taking time. All things are in the process. Soon we will complete the process. They do not need to worry about any kind.
What was the confidence given by the government to both Paralympians and why are the officials avoiding the matter? Bhaskar spoke to both the players about this.
I am ashamed that I am Arjuna Awardee Kapil says- When the President gave me the Arjuna Award and said that it was very happy that you have illuminated the name of the country. However, there is no respect for para players in MP. I feel that I am Arjuna Awardee. CM Dr. Mohan Yadav said to me that we will make you a gazetted officer, but I am upset by going round the officials.
Today I would not have been begging people if I did not have the Tops (Target Olympic Podium Scheme) and OGQ (Olympic Gold Quest) institute. There is no money to put diesel-petrol in my car. Many times children or their parents ask me whether brother, if you give so many medals to the country in judo, should we teach children judo or not?
I myself am looking for the answer to this question. How can I tell them to teach the child a judo? What will I do if there is a situation like me later?
In the year 2024, Kapil received the Arjuna Award.
I am not able to practice Kapil says that after winning the bronze at the Paris Paralympics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called us to meet. Then he told me that next time you have to bring a gold medal. Now how will I bring gold? The government of my state is not supporting me? I was preparing for the Asian Games to be held in Japan in 2026 and Los Angeles Olympics in the year 2028, but what am I doing now?
I am not getting time to practice because I am going round the minister-officials. We wanted to throw ourselves in practice that this time the bronze has come, then we will bring gold next time. What I have achieved, I have not done on the basis of money. I have stumbled, the pain has endured.
UP also gave job to participants Kapil says- Players from other states who won medals in paralympics are working on a good post today. Even some states gave jobs to those who took part in the Olympics. The Madhya Pradesh government does not know why it is doing this? What is the displeasure with us?
They say that seeing us, other players also have a negative effect that even after winning so many medals, they will get anything, what will we get? Whenever I have talked to the Sports Minister or Sports Director, they have been saying that the file is going on for a year. I will come to eat your joining sweets.
Kapil Parmar was honored by CM Dr. Mohan Yadav last year. In this program, CM announced a Rs 1 crore and government job to Paralympian.
Do not call in the program that Kapil does not ask for a job Kapil says- He is the same minister and officer who used to be in the race to be photographed after getting the medal. Used to give invitation to lunch and dinner. Now we cut the kanni. We are not invited to sports related programs. Officers are afraid that Kapil may not ask for a job. I approached all the leaders and ministers from all the leaders and ministers. Now they have stopped picking up the phone.
Will keep the award on the table of sports director Kapil said- Our demand was that according to the promise made by the government, we should be given a job. Now I have decided that I will give my Arjuna Award Director. I will put it on their table. Now know the way they want to take it to Delhi.
Now know what Paralimpian Prachi Yadav says
I did not even get the cost of treatment, Prachi has also decided to return the Arjuna Award. Prachi says- As much as my game has given to Madhya Pradesh, I do not think the Madhya Pradesh government has given anything. If I do not support Sai and Olympic Gold Quest, I would not have reached here.
She says that during the race in Paris, I had one eye cornea blast. Even after that, the government did not give me any assistance for his treatment. I had done a complete treatment at my expense. In which I have spent 16 to 17 lakh rupees so far. The Madhya Pradesh government did not give its expenses.
The prize money of the international medal we bring is not available.
Last year clerk’s job rejected Last year, when the government gave the appointment letter of government service to 17 players awarded the Vikram Award, Prachi offered a clerk in PWD. At that time Prachi refused to take a job. Then the CM had assured to give a good job, but till now it has not been implemented.
Prachi says that we are not getting any contact with anyone. We are not being given the right information. Whether a minister or MLA, we are trying to meet all of us, but no one is giving us the right guidance. We are very disappointed because we felt that after bringing the medal, we will get a job, so that we will be able to be financially capable. Nothing like this happened.
Officers do not call because they will ask for jobs Prachi was a disabled from birth. Because of which he did not get admission in school. His mother also had cancer but started swimming due to the tendency towards sports since childhood. One day the coach advised him to play canoeing due to his long stature. Since then Prachi has not looked back.
Prachi says that we do not even call us in big programs of the government, because they feel that if we come, we will talk about our job. He is ashamed that even after bringing so much medal, we did not give us a job, so I am deciding to return my Arjuna Award.
Prachi Yadav received the Arjuna Award in the year 2023.
