It's is complete mockery of civil services post. How can she handle the social issues. Why can't they offer any reasonable post like railways or any other service like many other players get. It's completely political gain. Shame on govt

the state assembly unanimously passed a Bill amending the AP Public Services Act, providing a Group-I officer job to Sindhu. The amendment to the Act was required as this special appointment bypasses the regular recruitment process through the AP Public Service Commission.
These people are the ones who have participated in international games on behalf of our country and for that they invest considerable amount of efforts (practising since childhood) so much that they do compromise on education, career. Athletic people have very short career which often ends in mid 30s, Which makes it difficult for them to secure livelihood. Thus it is important to assure these people guaranteed job so that they can give their best without being worried about job. Don't compare them with cricketers or badminton players.
moreover this one is a rare case, I mean how mny olympic silver medallists do we have? It will be a push to encourage parents to accept children choosing sports as a career. Moreover it's just kind of ceremonial posting, she won't do much work in that, but will draw salary. But still you can't help thinking how wrong this approach is, because olympics are good, but administration is way more important. It's just that state governments don't feel the sense of importance its essential works require.
It also brings into question the very purpose of existence of states or a federation in India. States are just giving lip service to major cultural identies in different parts of the country. Administratively, India would be no different if states did not even exist as administrative units. Or may be the situation wud be a lot better in a centralised polity. The state governments are very laid back about their key performance areas, or do they have any?

Those arguing that sportsperson give a lot of effort,neglect education in their quest to achieve glory and hence deserve such jobs are plainly missing the point that no one forced them to be an athlete.
If athlete's career is short then that is a risk associated with that career just like other career's also have associated risks and they should take their decisions based on such factors.
Giving away crucial administrative posts in the name of promoting sports is just plain political stunt and is a mockery of civil services aspirants who put their sweat and blood into these exams.
And it's not that these athletes have worked hard,everyone who wants to achieve success works hard.Hard work Shouldnt be equated just to physical work.
