Every time Ronjan Sodhi wins a gold medal in national or international shooting event, he holds country’s flag high and feels proud of it.

The moment he is back to his motherland, he is a disappointed man, as he is jobless, despite the fact that he has been given Arjuna Award by the Centre and Maharaja Ranjit Singh Award by the state government for his achievements in national and international level competitions, including world cup shooting championship.

What has been causing embarrassment to Ronjan is the fact that so far the state government has not given any response to the written requests he has made in 2009 and 2010 for getting a suitable job. The state government has no jobs for shooters, who have played in international competitions, won gold medals, other positions in different championships and world record holder in double trap event . Though Ronjan had done MBA, the state government had been finding it difficult to give him a job of his status.

An eye opener this,

Not at all shocking, Rp. What more can one expect from our babu's!!!

And what about our erstwhile parent body that was supposed to look after it's own...

Bravo Ronjan Sodhi

What a pity, heartbreaking that such great talent like Ranjan Sodhi's cannot be encouraged and nurtured both, to develop the person and the Nation! He is not the first and looks like he wont be the last, any time soon. 'Mera Bharat Mahan' Natural Resources in abundance and no organization to maximize their potential!

No offence meant here - I love my country but I have been

I refuse to give up hope though, there is still a silver lining somewhere there.....

An aquaintaince of mine competed at the national level in cycling.

Whent he applied to join services (i was a kid so dont remember which dept but i know it was a 'sarkari naukari') in the sports quota, the clerk told him
'humein bevkoof samajhta hai kya, cycle chalana koi khel nahi hota' (do you think we are fools, everybody knows cycling is not a sport).

They didnt even accept his application.

I am not surprised at this.

I also know for a fact that even after the govt. grants you facilities on paper. it takes all of your efforts to see it materialise practically.

And this nation hails cricketers like gods while the sport gets murkier and more corrupt. Very sad indeed.

Hi Guys,
> If cricketeers can get jobs with MNCs & AD contracts - It's high time some of our MNCs employed Ronjan.
> Leading sports goods manufacturers (IOF which makes sporting arms included) can make him their Brand Ambassador.
> Hightime our National Sports Council took note of this.
> Hearty Congratulations Ronjan - You have made us proud!
Cheers
