The Bihar government also announced a scheme named Medal Lao Aur Naukri Pao Yojna to provide jobs to sportspersons who win medals for the country and the state. In one such development, Sultana Bano, a resident of Bhojpur, Bihar was recently offered a job in a government office for her achievement in Rugby.
