The Chandigarh Sports Department is set to begin issuing gradation certificates to athletes starting today. This initiative aims to provide official recognition to sportspersons based on their performance and achievements, thereby streamlining the process of availing various benefits and opportunities.
Purpose of Gradation Certificates
Gradation certificates serve as an official document that categorizes athletes according to their skill level and accomplishments. This system helps in identifying talented individuals for further training, scholarships, and participation in state and national-level competitions. The certificates will be issued after a thorough evaluation of the athletes' records and performances.
Benefits for Athletes
With these certificates, athletes can easily access government schemes, sports quotas in educational institutions, and employment opportunities in the sports sector. The move is expected to bring transparency and efficiency in the recognition process, reducing delays and discrepancies.
The department has urged all eligible athletes to apply for the certificates at the earliest. Detailed guidelines and application forms are available on the official website and at the department's office. This step is part of the broader effort to promote sports culture in Chandigarh and support the growth of athletes at the grassroots level.
