Chandigarh: Haryana Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Anil Vij today said that the new sports policy, which is slated to be announced on the occasion of Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda on January 12, will have a special scheme for encouraging women players.

While giving this information, Vij said that the previous Congress government had no sports policy rather the government had only marked their stamp on the medals won by players through their sheer hard work and labour.
