yes, meritorious sportsperson should be given pension. This will not only promote sports in our country but also encourage the players. This will also help in getting more talented players for the international game. moreover, this can help in creating a positive atmosphere in the country.

This is a good initiative, but a care should be taken that this scheme doesn't get misused. There are lot of ways by which mostly, the people in the middle misuse these schemes, hence inviting new scams and corruptions. These lobbies need to be eradicated first. I also believe that farmers should be given some sort of pension or some stability for their livelihood. Maybe, their children can be given sports education where they can become good sportsmen.
