The Jharkhand government today announced that it would allot a free plot to ace archer Deepika Kumar here, a fortnight after her family said it was waiting for the previous government's promise to be fulfilled.
"Our government has decided to allot a free residential plot to Deepika Kumari, who has brought laurels to the state in archery," Chief Minister Hemant Soren said here.
Deepika's parents Gita Devi and Shiv Narain Mahato had on November one said that they were unable to decide whether to renovate their house at Ratuchatti on the outskirts of Ranchi or wait till a plot was allotted.
Addressing a function organised to mark the state's 14th anniversary, Soren also said that medal winners at the national and international levels would be given government jobs as per their qualifications.
Preparation of rules and regulations for it were in the final stage, he added.
