		The Arjuna Award is the highest national recognition of distinguished sportspersons and is presented for outstanding performance by sportspersons during the year for which it is given and the preceding year.
		Thus while in the original concept the award was given to sportsperson in disciplines which belonged to the Olympic family and cricket, the extension of the scope of the honours to include performances in indigenous games and also in the physically handicapped category has gone a long way in eliminating charges of discrimination.
		That award for lifetime achievement should be given only to a person who has excelled on the field of sport and then taken to coaching and promotion in an active manner while keeping himself in touch with the discipline all his life.
