Chennai: The past and present of the Tamil Nadu sports fraternity came together to celebrate the future stars, as 10 emerging athletes were rewarded at the India Cements-Tamil Nadu Sports Journalists\u2019 Association Scholarships 2024, held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Sunday. Each scholarship awardee received a cheque for Rs 30,000 and a trophy. A.S. Sharvaanica, an eight-year-old chess prodigy from Ariyalur, the Kanyakumari twin sisters M. Anslin and M. Akslin, who excelled at the Khelo India Youth Games, and para-athlete J. Keerthika were among the scholarship recipients. Chennai Super Kings pacer Deepak Chahar was the chief guest. CSK CEO K.S. Viswanathan, India Cements marketing and channel growth head Shashank Singh, Tamil Nadu Cricket Association Honorary Secretary R.I. Palani and Honorary Assistant Secretary Dr R.N. Baba also graced the gala event. Former India cricketer W.V. Raman, men\u2019s cricket team selection committee member S. Sharath, former India women\u2019s cricket team captain Sudha Shah, MRF Pace Foundation head coach M. Senthilnathan, hockey Olympian Mohammed Riaz, former India athlete Shiny Wilson and former India swimmer Wilson Cherian gave away the trophies. While addressing the gathering, Chahar hailed the TNSJA’s initiative to support deserving young athletes. \u201cObviously, I like it. I urge all the media (across the rest of India) to do the same. When you’re young, support is crucial. It’s excellent when the media provides that support. There’s nothing better than receiving a scholarship at an early stage. Congratulations to all the athletes here,\u201d said Chahar, who is preparing for IPL 2024. Mr Shashank assured that India Cements will continue to support young talent and sponsor scholarships in the years to come. \u201cAt India Cements, we are always scouting for the next generation of athletes. We have the top-10 here, there are other athletes who were not able to make it to the elite list. Kudos to them and their families as well. What better than getting the award from Chahar, whose story in itself is inspirational,\u201d said Shashank. CSK CEO Viswanathan said: \u201cIndia Cements is a company that has been supporting athletes for the past five decades. Knowing India Cements and N. Srinivasan (managing director), we will live up to the expectations of the sports journalists. It is a great cause which you have taken up. I would like to congratulate all the winners and wish them the very best.\u201d The India Cements-TNSJA scholarship winners for 2023-24 (Rs. 30,000 each): A.S. Sharvaanica (Chess), M. Anslin (Athletics), M. Akslin (Athletics), R.S. Rethin Pranav (Tennis), Barathkumar Karthi (Volleyball), Deeksha Sivakumar (Swimming), J. Hemchudeshan (Cricket), G.
