Decade of Dedication, Zero Security: Charsadda's Sports Coaches Left in Limbo

musarrat ullah jan -

 

For more than a decade, the daily wage coaches at Abdul Wali Khan Sports Complex in Charsadda have worked tirelessly with their hearts and skills to develop talent in the area. However, they are stuck in a cycle of uncertainty, not being given permanent jobs that rightfully belong to them.

 As approved BPS-16 coaching jobs lie idle since 2017, these passionate coaches, specialists in football, cricket, badminton, and hockey, fight to survive, their futures uncertain.

Finance Department records verify six empty, fully funded posts, a contrast to the Sports Directorate's empty assurances. Other districts have experienced hiring, but Charsadda's coaches, qualified and experienced as they are, are ignored time and time again.

This is not an isolated Charsadda problem; it's a symptom of a broader affliction. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province as a whole, talented sport professionals are being driven into unsustainable daily wage situations by bureaucratic momentum and the lack of a stated, permanent job policy.

Billions are spent on sporting infrastructure and events, while the backbone of sporting development – the coaches – are left in a state of long-term uncertainty. The mentors who mould tomorrow's sports stars, these coaches, are entitled to stability and respect.

The six empty BPS-16 coaching positions must be advertised immediately.  Prioritize Permanency: The current daily wage coaches who have spent years serving should be given permanent jobs as a priority.

Make sure that a transparent and fair recruitment process is conducted in order to regain trust. Bring a Permanent Policy into Being: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa requires a strong, permanent employment policy for sports coaches so they, as well as the future of sports in the region, can be secured.

The continued inertia of the Sports Directorate is a cause for serious concern regarding administrative competence and responsibility. If this injustice continues, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is at risk of losing its most precious sporting assets: its professional coaches.

musarrat ullah jan -
  Constituencies associated with sports appealed to the caretaker chief minister including Governor Ghulam Ali to take notice. PESHAWAR ... The circles related to sports have demanded an inquiry into the various contracts given in the sports sector during the PTI regime and have said that a transparent inquiry should be made into all the contracts given by the Provincial Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
