Murmu Confers National Sports Awards as Lalremsiami Makes Mizoram History
President Droupadi Murmu on Friday conferred the National Sports Awards in New Delhi, with hockey player Lalremsiami becoming the first sportsperson from Mizoram to receive the Arjuna Award. The 2024 honours list featured 17 Arjuna awardees and, for the first time since 2014, no Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna recipient, underscoring a notably different awards cycle. Three coaches were also recognised with the Dronacharya Award.
