He noted that such assertions create a misleading impression that talented sportspeople are being neglected by the state, adding that athletes currently benefiting from government assistance should not resort to collecting funds on social media platforms. Under the initiative, athletes categorised in the primary national pool receive a monthly allowance of Rs.210,000, while their coaches receive Rs.110,000.
