Dronacharya Award is
an award presented by the government of India for excellence in sports
coaching. The award comprises a bronze statuette of Dronacharya, a scroll of
honour and a cash component of Rs.500,000. The award was instituted in 1985. As
the best sportsperson award is named Arjuna Award, it is appropriate that the
coaching award is named after Dronacharya, as he was the Guru of Arjuna.
