Which of the following Vikram Awardee - 2018 player of Madhya Pradesh is from Disabled Category ?

Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — A, Sonu Golkar. Among Madhya Pradesh's 2018 Vikram Award recipients, Sonu Golkar is the awardee honoured in the divyang (disabled / para-sports) category. The other names in the list are able-bodied athletes recognised in the mainstream category.

Why the other options are wrong — (b) Recognised in the mainstream (able-bodied) category, not the disabled / divyang category.  (c) The booklet prints 'Pooj Vastrakar'; this is Pooja Vastrakar, an able-bodied cricketer from Shahdol, MP, who plays for the India women's team — not a para-athlete.  (d) An able-bodied sailor from MP (a sailing medallist at the 2018 Asian Games) — recognised in the mainstream category, not the disabled category.

Concept: The Vikram Award is Madhya Pradesh's highest sports honour for senior sportspersons, given each year across categories — including a separate award for divyang (para) sportspersons. This question asks you to spot the para-category (disabled) awardee among a list of MP's 2018 Vikram winners.
