The Rajasthan government approved out‑of‑turn appointments for 235 medal‑winning athletes, with nine slated to become Deputy Superintendents of Police and 73 para‑athletes included in the list.
The Rajasthan administration has given the green light to a proposal that will place 235 athletes who have won medals in government jobs on an out‑of‑turn basis. Under the plan, nine of these sportspersons will be appointed as Deputy Superintendents of Police, a senior rank in the state police force.
The remaining 224 athletes will be distributed across various government departments, reflecting the state's effort to reward sporting excellence with stable employment. Among the beneficiaries are 73 para‑athletes, highlighting an inclusive approach toward differently‑abled sportspersons.
The decision, announced by the state government, aims to encourage further participation in sports by offering a tangible career pathway for those who bring laurels to the state and the nation. Appointments are expected to be processed in the coming weeks.
This move aligns with Rajasthan's broader policy of recognizing athletic achievements and integrating them into the public service framework, thereby strengthening the link between sports and employment.
Details on the specific departments and posting dates will be communicated to the selected athletes by the relevant government offices.
