As of 2023, which award is given for lifetime achievement in Sports and Games?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The correct choice is: Dhyanchand Award
The Dhyan Chand Award, started in 2002, was India's award for lifetime achievement in sports and games.
- ‘Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna’ (renamed Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna in 2021) is the highest award for outstanding sporting performance.
- ‘Arjuna Award’ recognises consistent good performance by sportspersons.
- ‘Dronacharya Award’ is given to coaches.
Hence the answer is ‘Dhyanchand Award’.
Update: from 2024 the Dhyan Chand Award was replaced by the Arjuna Award (Lifetime).
