The scholarship is mainly for those whose families can't support their training—it gives a monthly stipend for diet, travel, and equipment. In the metros, most parents I know, like me, are already covering all that for our children. It feels like a support for the first step onto the track, not the whole race. Back in my village, though, a few thousand rupees for shoes and bus fare would have changed everything for a talented child.
