Ashok Gehlot Government has decided to give the benefit of 2 percent reservation in sports quota in state government jobs to the players representing Rajasthan in national sports competitions to promote sports in the state.
In December 2019, Minister of State for Sports Ashok Chandna told that to take such a step to encourage players. Rajasthan has become the first state in the country to do so.
Earlier, only players participating in international competitions and winning medals in national level games used to get the benefit of 2 percent reservation.
