Arjuna Awards to Chess Players - Drought of 7 years

These chess players nedd what they deserve arjuna for Indian chess player

Chess was invented in India and hence should be recognised and supported by the government just like other sports. It will promote the chess community and make it stronger, our players are doing really well, bringing laurels to the nation, they should be appreciated!

#ArjunaforChess, representing India in agame played by more than 190 countries. True world level representation

Do it

Representing the country in any field is a matter of pride,and in chess we rank in the top 10 in the world,but just one Arjuna award in the last decade fails to reward our players who have raised India's ranking and prepared the next generation of chess prodigies who have the mantle to carry the baton forward

Long overdue

Its the need of the hour.

Players who have represented India and won medals deserve to be recognised

Chess is a popular game in the world. It should definitely be considered for national sports awards.

Awards for chess players

Seriously no single sport is large and small each sport needs effort to bring it on top most ranks. I would love to see these young talents whose contribution for india for more than 18 years is so incredible. They too deserve Arjuna award. We have Vidit Gujrati who is on 24th rank in the world. His contribution needs massive respect. I m with you guys hope chess also gets nominated for arjuna and dronacharya awards.
