Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said his government will seriously think over providing government jobs to wrestlers who excel in major competitions.
"Wrestling was an important sport of India and is being played since centuries. No stone will be left unturned to promote it," he said addressing the concluding function of the four-day long National Wrestling Competition here.
"The government will seriously ponder over giving government jobs to wrestlers who excel in major competitions," he added.
"Now wrestling is no less glamorous than cricket. We are going to provide all possible help to impart training to the wrestlers in the state," he said in the presence of famed wrestlers Sushil Kumar and Sakshi Malik.
