Which of the following awards were given to coaches for their outstanding coaching?

Guru Vashishtha Award
Guru Vedvyas Award
Guru Vishwamitra Award
Eklavya Award

The correct answer is D. Eklavya Award.

The Eklavya Award is a national sports award of India instituted in 1961 by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India. It is awarded annually to the best sports coach of the year. The award consists of a cash prize of ₹5 lakh, a plaque, and a citation.

The award is named after Eklavya, a character in the Mahabharata who was a self-taught archer. Eklavya was so skilled in archery that he was able to defeat Arjuna, the greatest archer of his time. However, he was denied the opportunity to learn from Dronacharya, the best archery teacher of his time, because he was a Nishada, a member of a lower caste.

The Eklavya Award is given to coaches who have made outstanding contributions to the development of sports in India. The award is given to coaches in all disciplines of sports, including individual and team sports.

The award is a recognition of the hard work and dedication of coaches who have played a vital role in the success of Indian athletes. The award is also a motivation for coaches to continue their work and help to produce more champions for India.

The other options are incorrect because they are not awards given to coaches for their outstanding coaching.
