Awards selection process to be revamped

New Delhi, Aug 21: A selection process will be revamped. Sports minister will soon revamp the selection process of Awards given to players and coaches. Officials said that a new system would ensure that no deserving candidate misses out the awards and un-nominated athletes would also be considered for the honor.

Sources say that Sports Minister Vijay Goel has already started discussions on changing the selection criteria they have also said: "Soon, new guidelines will be put in place and even those who have not applied or have not been nominated by their respective Federations, will be considered if they have performed well and are deserving".

Experts say that the government had taken this exercise after few deserving players were left out of the awards because they were not nominated by their federations/boards. Many people have criticised the awards selection process for not including tennis player Rohan Bopanna who had won many titles this year.
