Jenni, wife of ailing olympian Limba Ram urged that central government should come up with a policy for the former athletes, who are suffering from a serious illness. "At present Olympians, athletes who have participated in Asian tournaments and players who have represented the country in world cups, are covered under various schemes but there is no such scheme for former Olympian. So central government should come up with such a scheme," Jenni told ANI on Tuesday.

Limba Ram, a former archer, has been suffering from the serious neurological problem for the past four years. Ram, who had been honoured with Padma Shri and Arjun Award, lives at Sports Authority of India's hostel for his treatment. Jenni said that Rajasthan state sports council gives Limba a monthly salary but most of it goes in rent and his medicines.
